fishepa Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I just bought a new JVC 32" LCD HDTV tonight and I hooked it up to my H20 receiver via HDMI and when I turn to the HD channels it doesn't really look that great. I don't know if it's the TV or the feed from DirecTV HD. Before I bought this TV I watched HD on my little 17" Dell LCD HDTV and I did not notice any of this. When I watch on my JVC now, almost everything on the screen "moves" if that makes sense. There can be a stationary object in the background and when I look at it it has little blocks that seem to move around all the time. It's very annoying and I'm just curious if it's the TV or if its normal. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I've been pretty critical about DTV's crappy picture but I think some HD programming is OK (that is slightly below "good"). The biggest problem I have with their HD picture involves how their compression handles fast action. I am always seeing artifacts where (I guess) the receiver isn't decompressing images fast enough. I know it's not my TV because I've seen this on every DTV HD set-up I've had the opportunity to view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 HD on DirecTV sucks. Plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce B Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 HD on DirecTV sucks. Plain and simple. On mine, Discovery HD and ESPN shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackFan Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hopefully, with the new satellites, they can stop compressing things so much on some of the channels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
