[opendtv] Poor quality PBS ATSC feeds

Folks,

Just an inquiry to check if I am not losing my mind (which may be true
regardless) -

Prior to NAB I captured a number of programs from local PBS stations
in LA (KOCE and others). Specifically wildlife, nova and other nature
feeds to use for 'demo' purposes. Well, until I actually got them onto
my PC and decided to play them fullscreen for a test. Half the
programming appeared to be upconverted 480p. The other half that was
720p or better had so much macroblocking from high compression that I
had to discard them completely. Unwatchable is an understatement.
Embarassing for whoever configured the encoder is probably more
spot-on.

Am I the only one having this experience?

Cheers
Kon
