I just switched over to from Comcast to DirectTV and my very first impression of the HD picture quality was disappointing. I now have many more HD channels to choose from, my reason for switching, but the overall quality of what I am seeing is a step below what I was getting from Comcast. When I had Comcast I had the habit of flipping back between antenna and cable to see how much of a difference there was in picture quality. The difference I could see was hardly noticible in the favor of antenna. The same test between DirectTV and antenna shows a definite reduction in HD quality. The DirectTV picture lacks the clarity of the OTA signal.
Of all the HD services I have had to date I give them the below picture quality ranking.
#1 Dish
#2 Comcast
#3 DirectTV
