gizmodo.com — Comcast has begun compressing HDTV shows in order to deliver more HD channels to you while using the same amount of bandwidth. They didn't use to do this before, but now, when compared to Verizon FiOS, the channels are grainy and blocky and full of artifacts?a result of shoving three channels into a space where only two previously occupied.

There is nothing surprising about this to me. Every time my wife leans over to me and asks, "Honey, why are there giant colored squares on the screen?", I am reminded about my low-bandwidth, barely-HD signal. Comcast is just comcrap.
