Hi,

While I was watching the Grammy awards last night, right at the end when Red Hot Chilli Peppers were performing, they released snow-like stuff in the air where it covered everything.

My pictures got pixelated like crazy! It was horrible, like resolution dropped to 320*200... what is the culprit? I assume it's broadcating or bad compression, but not sure, which of the following could be contributing to this?

- TV: Sharp 37D90U 1080p Panel
- Receiver: Motorla 6412 v.III
- Cable: Component out to Receiver, HDMI out to TV
- Receiver: Pioneer Elite 72TXv
- Cable company: Shaw Cables - broadcasting at 1080i

Anyone else notice this? If so, is current HDTV not equipped to handle complicated scenees like that?
