This thread is to discuss the current and growing practise by most TV broadcast distributors (cablevision, satellite, telco, etc) to re-compress HDTV channels to use less bandwidth.
In many cases this additional compression results in degradation of the image by causing soft edges (mosquito noise), macroblocking and adding other errors and artifacts.
This additional compression is in violation of CRTC directives that state:
Do you want the distributors (Shaw, Rogers, etc) left to decide how much compression is too much? Or do you want your HDTV channels in the original quality that the broadcaster intended and provided?
You can submit a complaint to the CRTC stating that you object to the image degradation caused by additional compression the distributors are applying to the HD and SD digital TV signals you receive from them, in violation of CRTC notices 2006-74 and 2003-61.

In fact, not only HD but also SD digital TV stations are covered. For reference I will post the relevant sections of the CRTC notices.
