With my over the air HDTV reception and quality, the ONLY complaint I have is when networks add those stupid subchannels. It almost exclusively affects 1080i main channels quality, you start to get pixelization, sometimes not even on fast motion. Here in Los Angeles area it's NBC which is 1080i and one stupid weather subchannel. Other night on Conan, they had Dolly Parton on, and just her slightly moving around and her large amount of hair made pixelization around her chin and neck that looked awful. Jeez NBC who were the forerunners of color can't even show someone sitting in a chair talking and no camera movement without it degrading?? Also it may be a problem of them not broadcasting using the full 19mbs or something but I have no idea how to measure it. But they are by far the worst out here. Otherwise CBS, ABC etc look great out here and to me HDTV looks incredible unless they screw it up and don't give a damn like NBC L.A. Really hard to believe the people there just accept this lousy quality, sometimes NTSC would look BETTER! The TWO subchannels have almost no effect on ABC out here which is 720p. CBS is superb, 1080i and no stinking subs. I'm using a 51 inch crt-based projection Hitachi.
