I have recently noticed increasingly frequent audio and video skipping and degradation on network channels and ESPN/ESPN2 with Comcast in Houston. Sometimes the signal will even flip back and forth between HD and SD. A tech came to our house and could not find a problem. Obviously, customer service has been completely useless, and denies ever having heard of such a problem.
Also annoying is the fact that my local PBS HD channel is not actually being broadcast in HD most of the time, despite being filmed in HD. I tried to watch Austin City Limits recently and had a crummy shrunk-down picture, with the left channel of the audio missing. How useless is that?!
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
