Cable companies are not allowed to rate shape or recompress locals in any way. They can do whatever they want with cable channels, but not locals. I regularly check mine with mpeg2repair to make sure my cable co (Mediacom) aren't doing this, and they've been good so far!<br><br>But really, if your provider is bit crushing your locals, holler at the FCC, I am sure they'd like to hear about it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brett]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2009 11:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Latest antenna selector is pretty slick, knows nothing about DVRs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/latest-antenna-selector-is-pretty-slick-knows-nothing-about-dvr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/latest-antenna-selector-is-pretty-slick-knows-nothing-about-dvr/</guid><description><![CDATA[Glad to see someone is fighting the good fight, but you are dreaming if you think you can win that one. Good luck. (Just for the record I use FiOS which doesn't compress and still prefer OTA because the Media Center tuners are cheaper).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2009 11:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Latest antenna selector is pretty slick, knows nothing about DVRs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/latest-antenna-selector-is-pretty-slick-knows-nothing-about-dvr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/latest-antenna-selector-is-pretty-slick-knows-nothing-about-dvr/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm surprised that there is no standardized electronic control for antenna rotators.
