I wasn't aware that higher number channels got more compressed. Not sure on the LCD front. My LCD monitor NEC 20" TFT 16x9 LCD gives a beautiful bright HD picture, is ok on low channels, some high number like 607 speed, fair on other high number channels. Setanta, and a few south america showing sports action really suck, even compared to commercials and studio feeds. Good luck with the IPTV feed.

I would speculate that i is simply a function of compression shemes that render the "less watched" or higher up networks subject to the most compression (compare FSC with a retransmission of a broadcast affiiliate). Compression + LCD renders an awful image, which is why I will retain my tube TV until cable/sat companies change their evil ways.<br/><br/>I am dissapointed that ITVN further degrades the images with their paltry allocation of 1 meg for Setanta's feed. Side by side comparisons of video from the ManU/Fulham match (FSC video courtesy of the EPL Review Show) really made apparent how I think it's rather absurd that ITVN charges the same fee as DirecTV - it was watchable but only because we are sick individuals when it comes to the subject matter!<br/><br/>-(NY TV guy that may like Chelsea but rather not say) LA Chelsea Fan:

I did miss the live broadcast of the first match, especially since I was up at 5:00am Central Time to start following the big day online.<br/><br/>Having the ability to follow most of the matches for the day on FSC was much better than following things on the internet at 9:00am. I should also say my new HDTV gave me a much better picture with the digital cable.<br/><br/>I did subscribe to Setanta broadband and I am disappointed that they have very little on broadband over the weekend. The opening round of the cup on Monday will be nice.<br/><br/>All in all a pretty happy guy.
