For movies mainly. Some movies look good and some real bad.
It can't be real DVD, because DVD doesn't have flaws that I see all the time when I watch movies on cable mainly Showtime since it's all I have.
Flaws include, one part of the image floating while another is not. For exmaple in one movie, a characters face one side shadowed the other side not. one side of his face around the eyes was floating and not moving with the rest of his face.
In other things like scene with a table, the table might jitter while the rest of the room does not.
Distortion it's real bad with some movies, the newer ones not as bad. Night time scenes with shadows, colors don't blend, it's almost looking at a high color photo in 16 colors. If you can get the idea.
Overall I imagine the cable companies take the movies and compress them so they can fit more on a disk. Problem is you lose picture quality in the process. I even see this on Pay per view and it really sucks at times.
I wanted to know if cable networks are doing anything about this.
Thanks
