AFAIK, they haven't started compressing their signal yet, or at least not nearly as much as the other guys. On a 60" 1080p set the signal looks fantastic. edit But on my folks' 60" set with DirecTV, yes, there is definitely compression. _________________________ Matt

Watching the few shows I normally do, I don't notice any at all. Could it be a difference in TV sets or maybe setups that is showing you the pixelation?
