using low def blurry crap the cable company shows

This drives me nuts. They strip program information, they downgrade the signal, they include a hundred or so music channels that nobody wants, they broadcast blank channels, and the periodically re-arrange the channels (or change/upgrade/downgrade the basic plan). I can't go to my grandmother's house without having to spend an hour or so to re-do all of her channels on her TV sets; and then try to explain to a 90-yr old why the channels are different.

Seriously, the SD on DTV is bad. Add to that the sport broadcasters using the 'not-so' latest greatest equipment(Canuck NHL teams, the worst) and it looks like you time-warped back to watching TV in the '70s.

LOL.

Is there a real reason for them to need to rearrange the channels? I don't get it.

I don't either!
