Yeah this is a bad problem that many don't notice because they don't know better or don't pay attention.
I think how Bell does it is they change channels around to different transponders so big shows look good as they only share with one other channel. Actually real HD should have only one HD channel per satellite transponder. An example was last Saturday's games. The Toronto game looked great but the Calgary game was a big drop in picture quality. There is no reason for this that I know of other than Bell's compression. Same station, same 1080i broadcast and I imagine same camera quality but the picture was way worse. Disappointing.
