ABC 11 HD in Raleigh/Durham

(For Raleigh/Durham subs)-- Anyone else notice the blurriness and macro-blocking in the middle of the screen for this channel? It's most noticeable on sporting events and graphics (news and sports). Or, is it just me?

I have noticed a horizontal distortion line in the middle of the screen that shows up only on ABC HD and not on other channels. It only shows up when the scene has fast motion.

I then saw the same channel on my friend's local digital cable service and his was much sharper and didn't have the distortion.

I thought maybe it was my tv, but since other channels are fine I think its the ABC feed on HD.

Thanks. Good to know it's not just me. So, you think it's a Dish thing or local ABC 11 HD thing? If that's the case, this would be happening on Time Warner and Direct TV as well, right?

OTA or thru Dish? I just checked the Rose Bowl and it looked fine.

I saw it, but only on the Dish broadcast, not on OTA.

Then it's a Dish thing? What can be done about it? I emailed them (ABC 11) through their web site "CONTACT US" link.

Their lead engineer (Curtis - I believe) has been incredibly responsive and open to my contacts through that link. He made a change to the encoder last week after I complained about the sound blips on recorded and paused programming. Since then, I have noticed that the issue has all but disappeared.
