The worst thing about HD, now, is not how slow it is being expanded.
It is truly awful how compressed the HD streams are now. You can see constant Macro Blocking during any motion - CSI is especially bad when they do the flash back scenes. You can see it during hockey as well. Additionally, HD appears more fuzzy than it used to.
There was a time, about 3 years ago, when HD was way better. The first time I watched a football game on CBS HD, you could see the white stars on the american flag on the refs jersey. Now, you are lucky if you can read the nameplates on the players.
Yes, Granted, HD is better than regular SD. But, why should we be happy to accept something that is not as good as it can be? Especially when we are charged more for it (on Bell). We shouldnt be happy with this 'HD Light'.
Back on topic... As its been mentioned, there are not that many Flames games in HD. But, with Center Ice on Bell, there are a number of out of market games each week in HD.
