Like going from 1080p to 720 different. pixiliated , grainy and drag on high motion. 2nd call out today . The customer service is AWFUL ! as mentioned in this thread. I ahve 7 HD TV's . I am no techie but understand enough about image resolution as 25 year printing guy that something isn't right. Assume its the spliting and pushing (boosting) of the data is getting compressed and blown out. if they cant fix this I'll go back to U verse ASAP. Not settling for low resolution TV.
anyone know how to speak to some one locally in hte US that will help yuo through this conversation.
I switched becasue of the contuing issues wiht Uverse 's internet. Comcast is way better ! Maybe split the services ?
tv U verse . Internet comcast..
that is not how TV works now. The mpeg2/4 stream is sent via a quam chan it isn't re-transcoded/compressed the quality (streaming bit rate) is set by the provider of the content. Indeed, comcast can't change anything of a signal without written permission from the local broadcaster (if local) or the provider if it is from another source.
be sure your set top box is set to 1080i or p. It is probably best to put in 1080i and let your TV de-interlace the signal as it probably has much better signal processing capability/quality than the set top box.
