As a matter of fact, I just had digital cable with HD DVR installed in my new home, and the standard def channels are absolute atrocities. I'm not surprised since this is what I expected, having lived with Dish Network and Direct also. They all stink to high heavens when it comes to their SDTV channels.

It's not the fault of "standard def" per se, either. When I had a rooftop HD antenna, all the off-air standard def digital channels looked about 10 times better than same channels via satelite.

Oh, yeah, the install didn't go smoothly, either, again. This was their second attempt at wasting my time, and even though the cable did get set up the second time, they brought me the wrong cable box. I am awaiting a third visit, hopefully this time with the right box.

Oh, how I miss my rooftop HD antenna. Too bad I had to move to a poor reception area :(
