Comcast has interactive coming very soon. Order things on HSN from your TV, caller ID, interactive ads on TV. Lots of cool things.

UT3 has basicly been done for the 360 for 6 months. Mark Rein is a spoiled BRAT that when he Didn't get his way about "Mods" has on purpose tried to "teach" ms a lesson by holding back the release.

I'm boycotting UT3 on the Xbox. If GOW where published by anyone but MS, I'd boycott GOW 2 because EPIC is playing these games.

Just release the stupid game already. Stop screwing around with us.

re-compress, re-compress, re-compress. That's what it's all about.

Take any MPEG stream (which is already compressed) which has a little bit of action, and a little bit of macro blocking from that compress it and re-compress it. Then put it through a device to insert comercials (which will re-re-compress it) and those macro blocks suck even more.

This is almost the same as what happened(s) when you copy a copy of a copy of a videotape. Won't turn out to well. This is why the Broadcasters get a VERY high bitrate feed from the network then to thier things to it before they compress it down.

Unfortunatly, the providers give the cable and satellite guys what they give them, and it isn't high bitrate. You want better product? Call your programers (hb0 etc) and complaing.
