HD Picture Quality from the Major Networks. Which network and/or show is the best?

[Kentstater72]

IMO, in my area the order from best to worst in terms of PQ is:

1) CBS
2) ABC
3) NBC
4) FOX

Ditto

And this is strangely enough the same on my local HD cable.

Fox and NBC are the best here. CBS is terrible, not worth watching half the time.

Same here!

Cable Local HD vs OTA HD

Kentstater72,

How does your HD local cable PQ compare with OTA HD? Do you see a difference?

Same here...from all 3 DMA I receive.

CBS no question about it. Fox is last.

Strange. IMO, here in San Antonio, Fox's PQ is by far superior to CBS, NBC, or ABC. PBS is very good too. I guess it obviously depends on where you're at.

And, strangely enough, local TWC cable is not even carrying the local Fox station in HD, only SD. Not sure why but there were sure a lot of P.O.'d HD-owning cable subscribers during the Super Bowl.

Under clear South Texas skies...
Satellite Signal: 96
OTA Signal: 99

In most cases Id say no. I think its almost rare for CBS to multicast. I think if you could poll every market CBS would be a very heavy winner.

Portland CBS does multicast but for a big event they shut it down.

Walter, is your ABC HD breaking up on cable? It's been awful OTA lately.
