Any chance of improving my Direct TV

Posted by sendler on March 14, 2007 at 20:01:57:
I spent last Saturday on the roof with the guy helping him install Direct tv and I am very disappointed. I should have checked here first. I have been with verizon for my phone and internet so I decided to try their all in one package with Direct tv. The high def channels are just about satisfactory on a 32" Aquos but most of the standard channels suffer from terrible compression artifacts. I'm getting 80s for reception strength. Is there any hope of improvement or should I start the ball rolling on an uninstall. Has anyone else been through this to help me cut down on the number of phone calls it will take? Direct tv is dreaming if they think that they have any future with picture quality like that. The hype of what used to be decent quality will soon be overwhelmed with bad press about what they are transmitting now.
