Except for what he is referring to is how TBS (broadcast in 1080i, being butchered to 720p) compares to NBC (broadcast in 1080i, locally supplied and not subjec to butchering) and Fox (broadcast in 720p from the source). NBC and Fox both look superior because they in their original transmission mode, TBS (and the other 1080i to 720p converstions) are being fed through numerous filters and re-encoded at low bit rates (despite the gains from MPEG-4), the result is a muddy, color banding mess easily recognizable on any reasonably sized calibrated display.

As of this morning (northwest Georgia), all my channels are now 720p as far as I can tell, at least all my favorites. It was only about 6 channels for the past two months, so looks like the transition is going into full effect. Major disappointment, and very noticeable quality reduction on 60" plasma. Will be exploring new TV subscription options, thank you for making my decision to cord cut much easier now.

I've been noticing for about the past month certain 1080i channels are now being output as 720p in the Atlanta market as well. I don't have a DVR and use a Comcast issued MOTOROLA MORN150NR (RNG150N) box set to native signal output. (1080i or 720p) Channels that were formerly 1080i but have are now outputting as 720p to my TV: 711 - SZEHD (the other Starz channels are still 1080i) 756 - BBCAM 827 - UPHD 850 - MTVL 870 - UHD 892 - VICEH
