I don't know anyone doing 8VSB over north american cable system yet, it appears to be reserved for HDTV. TCI certainly is not doing 8VSB. http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=MPG.14e1f81875ce546b9896cc%40news.direct.ca&output=gplain FWIW the cable operators compress the holy living shit out of their channels so what the customer ends up receiving looks something like realvideo over a 56k dialup connection. I gave up on TCI digital cable because the quality was so horrible, and went back to analogue. There is more chroma noise but the terrible compression artifacts are gone. -Dan -- [-] Omae no subete no kichi wa ore no mono da.
