In this market FOX is DT-2 on the worst looking station in the 
market. I'm surprised they get 1.1 out of it. The CBS affiliate is 
pretty good, though I had an HDTV tuner that had trouble with their 
Dolby. All other stations were fine. The ABC affiliate wasn't doing 
Dolby Digital on DT-1.

I wish there were another ABC affiliate nearby. The local one has the 
most awful local video quality I've seen in a very long time. Couple 
that with awesomely dreary sets, graphics and lighting.  It looks 
like my college's closed circuit TV with hand-me-down equipment. In 
HD the video format keeps switching back and forth  Network feeds are 
a bit better, though movement is often jerky. It reminds me of Max Headroom.
