FSN HD Picture Quality

I realize this may be a problem with my cable company, but I wanted to try here first.

The FSN HD picture quality on my TV during the Jazz broadcasts sucks. The problem seems to be the frame rate. It is way too low, making the video look very choppy. It looks quite similar to video I shoot with my old Flip 30fps video camera.

The strange thing is, when the broadcast comes back from a commercial break it looks perfectly smooth. Then, about 30-60 seconds later it suddenly converts back to the choppy picture and stays that way until the next break.

I only experience this when watching the Jazz games on FSN HD... no other channels that I have noticed.

Anyone else have this problem? My provider is Veracity, BTW (a company you've never heard of unless you live in Provo or Lehi).

I blame Pace Mannion.

Some older generation HD boxes would tend to overheat which can result in a choppy effect like your describing, or a video with a lot of artifacts. This was the case for our Baja Broadband box and the only way to fix it was the company updated us to a newer box that wouldn't get so hot DVRing things whilst watching HD channels.

I blame Pace Mannion.

I did see him mucking around behind my TV the other day. Thought nothing of it at the time.

Don't have any framerate problems, but FSN's HD isn't top quality, for sure.

It's more like DVD quality. Clear and widescreen but not HD.

Cable is absolute garbage when it comes to HD.

I have DirecTV and the FSNHD broadcasts are great. As good as any other NBA feeds.

Cable is absolute garbage when it comes to HD.

the TNT games look outstanding on my cable. FSN: not so much. i guess it's time to lodge a complaint with the cable company. my complaining here isn't helping: go figure.
