[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 2883212, member: 562352"] Thanks for defining the issues at hand. I understand what you mean by the comments explaining picture quality? Is that a metric comcast uses to determine benefits to its customers? I do not know, I am just asking [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG].
