Is it me or do the shows on NBC HD look terrible lately? It could just be my Time Warner Digital Cable's crappy compression, but NBC shows are horrible. Last night I watched "Chuck", "Heroes", and "Journeyman", and the video quality was outstandingly bad. There have always been compression and motion artifacts in HD Digital Cable, but the quality was even worse than that. It was super grainy. And the audio needed about a 10 notch boost on my a/v receiver. The HD presentation of "Heroes" in the first season was terrific but I have found it, and the other new shows really lacking this season. Anybody else experiencing crappy network broadcast HD signals?
