That also ranks up there with the hyper-compression that HDTV signals
over cable-tv or satelite-tv have. Why people think that pea-soup
instead of grass is a good thing is beyond me. I just don't get it.
Most HDTV channels I've seen (direct broadcast is an exception because
of lower compression ratios), give me the impression that I've taken a
beautiful picture, subjected it to an extremly hyper-active
noise-reduction algorithm which wiped out all detail and then applied
JPEG compression at the 10% quality level.
