Agreed.

Yes, being limited to a few hours on the Guide sucks ... but you know what sucks worse? ... pixelation in premium channels.

Every time I look at DirectTv HD channels in stores, I see massive pixelation. Since they are all DirectTV sellers also, I'd say they compress their HD content as much as all the other channels. I've seen pixelation once or twice period on my HD channels (in just about one week of use).
