I've heard a lot of people say that the signal quality of a re-transmitted HD signal (an off-air signal turned around and rebroadcast over cable-TV) is much worse than simply receiving it off-air with an antenna. The cable company is supposed to just pass the HD stream along as-is, but I think most cable companies receive it and recompress it before sending it out, which is going to add all sorts of artifacts to the picture. I watched in standard def, on a 13" monitor with the top 15% of the picture folded over onto itself (the monitor is going bad) so I couldn't see the score or time. :-) Were you watching in HD on cable?

As a Packer fan, that is a major no-no! Even if they are the NFC representative. I'm happy Brett's coming back since they play the Rams in St Louis this year. Maybe this year I can get his autograph instead of just a picture of him as I'm walking off the field from Lambeau. (I'll have to show you and Bill that one!) I agree.
