New h264 channels 720p only?!?!
Got the notice last month that Cox San Diego would be upgrading to the year 2003, and changing from mpeg2 to h264 AVC encoding. I was very excited, as the mpeg2 quality at 7Mbps or so I get on most ...

BTW, I work at a local San Diego TV station (network affiliate) carried on Cox cable.
@PAul Anderegg, Thanks for providing the requested information. We ask this because we are not receiving reports of poor picture quality with the cablecards. I recommend checking the VLC settings just to make sure that there is nothing unusual going on. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.
Poor picture quality with Cablecards? Your Contour 1 boxes (I have one) also use Cablecards. Also, people watch blockbuster movies at 1080p on their cell hpnes, and consider that a cinematic experience. The problem is your company is downresing 1080 to 720. 720 is less than 1080, so unless you are telling me I am reading the codec data incorrectly, your charging me the same for lower quality. Cox is 1080 when 4K comes out, then drops to 720 when 8K comes out...um... Has Cox not converted ALL channels to 720p?
- @Paul Anderegg, We are not receiving reports of poor picture quality from other customers that use cable cards and tuning adapters. Since you are using VLC, I do recommend checking the resolution settings in VLC and see if that helps. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.
