I had the same problems with DTV, the scifi channel had the worst compression artifacts making it almost unwatchable, in fact the commercials seemed to have had better quality than the actual programs. After hearing all their excuses, blah blah blah...I got fed up and switched to cable (the other crooks), at least their quality was better and I didn't have to pay extra for the HI-Def channels. I don't see any solution to the highly compressed transmissions, unless some new type of compression with higher quality for the same bandwidth gets invented. But then they would probably try to squeeze more channels in the same space.
Follow Ups:
It's not DTV, something's wrong with your installation/setup. We've used DTV for years, and the video qualtiy has been fine even with SDTV. Our weakest channel has been local ABC -- they block access to ABC West in Santa Barbara, presumably so they can count us among their viewers in setting ad rates. HDTV is spectacular.
How long have you had your receivers because something has changed recently and the video bit rate is terrible on many stations.
