Man, this aspect of the switch never crossed my mind for some reason. I think it's been so long since I last used satellite that I'd forgotten how much better the picture quality is. Welcome to the world of the uncompressed! Short of OTA, I'm pretty sure Fios has the best quality out there (it might equal OTA).
