Comcast HDTV???

I am under the impression(from knowing how the cable companies "load stations" onto their bandwidth) that the HD is very "compressed" on cable! I know cable companies have been notorious for jamming lots of info into limited bandwidth. So I am currious as to the overall picture quality. Perhaps, once you get the cable going in HD, if maybe you can report back as to the quality of picture you're getting! If so, please be subjective and let us know if you're getting lot's of "artifacting" and such! I would be interested to know what cable has to offer in HD!
Overall, my cable quality has "Stunketh!" Thanks

I have Comcast here in the Washington, DC area, and I have an HDTV as well. I would be very curious to hear about your impressions, should you go the Comcast HDTV route in the end.

When I talked to Comcast here in Flint Michigan the told me they had three HD channels: ABC,HBO and Showtime. They would be adding more down the road. They have a one time $29.95 hook-up fee and five dollars extra a month starting in March if I hook up now. I forgot to ask anything else as that was not enough channels for me.

The Box your getting is the probably the Motorola 5100. Its has component, S and composite video as well as Toslink, Coaxial and analog rca audio. Component cables are needed for high def TV and I would recommend going toslink , as I have , for the audio. I have read other forums where some people had problems going coaxial for audio. As far as the high def picture, last night I watched the superbowl and the Hi def picture was awsome.
