DIRECTV's New HD Channels: Better Picture?
Internet message boards are filled with claims that DIRECTV's new high-def lineup offers a better picture. But is that really true?

Because the new channels are stored on a new satellite -- and delivered via the state-of-the-art MPEG 4 transmission system -- Internet message boards are overflowing with comments that the new channels offer a better picture than DIRECTV's old HD lineup, which includes HBO, Showtime, HDNet and Discovery's HD Theater.
However, Phillip Swann, aka Swanni and president of TVPredictions.com, has just posted a video commentary saying that HD picture quality usually "lies in the eye of the beholder."
He adds that claims by cable and satellite operators that they offer the best high-def picture are "nonsense."
