oh and is it just me, or is the TSN SportsCenter HD feed terrible? i see random snowy artifacts pop up everywhere, and if the anchor is wearing a pinstripe suit it plays havok with my display. i don't notice those issues on any other channel, and not even during an HD TSN hockey broadcast

Yea I know what you mean...It almost looks like an image you over sharpen on a photo editor program. The highlights look amazing, but the in studio set needs some adjusting.
I've set both my STB's to 720p after reading that Bell does in fact output in that res (Called a rep and asked). Watching the canuckleheads lose last night on CBC was much better IMO. There was no big digital blocks on the screen when the camera was fast moving...something that I noticed happened quite often in 1080i during sporting events (sans golf).
I've also read that 720p is the preferred resolution for sports because of that reason, but 1080i is better for movies, video games, tv shows...
who knows, it looks amazing in either one! Im loving HD way too much...I watch more TV than I ever have.
