That's what put me off of buying a DTV for several years. But then you 
compare it to an analog channel and the difference is so dramatic you decide 
to put up with occasional artifacts. Kind of like programming on an LCD, 
then plugging the computer into a regular TV.

I think some providers recompress the signal to fit more 
shows/movies/whatever over the same cable, so you get different levels of 
artifacts.

Plus, Blu-Ray seems to be more grainy than blocky - I think they spread the 
error out with diffusion, which isn't really a problem when you're six feet 
away.

Video games, for some reason, seem much more blocky.
