Ok, just an observation here:
I just got hooked up w/TWC Hd service to get Local HD, INHD (NBAHD) and TNT-HD for the upcoming playoffs. Using the Discovery Channel for comparison on my Samsung 360 and TWC's Pace DC-550 HD box it seems TWC HD is a tad bit better than D* as far as picture quality is concerned. I got the 360 hooked up with their DVI cable (which was given to me from a friend a while back) and the Pace box w/their standard component cables. But the picture was actually better on the 360 when I switched it to espn-hd. INHD which apparently is a cable only thing is crystal clear BTW. But overall the HD pic quality is pretty close. When D* moves to mpeg-4 can we expect better picture quality or not? Thanks
