Do you use digital cable (satellite) tv, or digital over the air 
broadcasts? I'm seeing it on the CATV a lot here, especially for the 
secondary and tertiary premium channels (primary, and primary HD look 
acceptable)

FWIW, compression artifacts on digital OTA usually aren't that bad, save 
for the 2 idiot stations that have 3 streams in addition to their main 
broadcast. (Do we really need a Forecast channel, a Radar channel, and 
an airport camera?)

Yeah, I have an HDTV which magnifies compression artifacts as well as 
the problems with analog TV.
