Does anyone know why Comcast SportsNet looks so bad compared to other HD stations? Is it maybe cause they upconvert? I heard some stations do that. Anyways, what's the deal with this station?

By your screen name, I going to guess your talking about Comcast SportsNet Chicago. What programs are you watching, is it all programs or certain ones? What is your source for this channel, Comcast, D*, something else?

I'm talking about Comcast SportsNet Chicago, the cable company is Comcast and I'm watching through HDMI. Comcast SportsNet is the only channel that has this problem. For instance, I just got done watching Bears Blitz and whenever the anchors are in studio their facial features look all blobbed and words on screen are jaggy. I know it's not just me too because my buddies looks even worse on his t.v. I'm watching it on a Samsung fp-t5884. In the past I had a 37" and it looked bad on that too.

Ask over in the Local Chicago Comcast thread in the Local HDTV Info & Reception forum.

Must be upcoverted SD. If the show was produced in HD I don't think you'd be seeing those issues.

Must be your STB. I get razor sharp PQ on all CSNHD shows. If you have Comcast have a service tech come out. I assume you already rebooted the STB by unplugging it from power? (and you are talking about CSNHD right? There is an SD version of CSN) Go Sox!
