Howdy...

Just finished watching the game. Did anyone else see what I saw on COX Cable Digital HD?

The game and all the commercials had the worst sharpening going on, to the point where it looked like an EX1 with peaking turned on. Every time the camera stopped moving, all the edges glowed, and people's hair sparkled. All the noise in the background also sparkled... It was horrible...

I don't know if this was from NBC direct, or just my COX stream. Perhaps something to do with how much compression they have to apply. Whatever it was, it looked terrible, and I'd much rather have watched it in SD without all of that crap.

Anyone else notice this? Or just me?

It must be compression added by COX because the game and all my other DirecTV chennels look great.
