He also said that every time a new HD channel is introduced the SD channels are squeezed (compressed) a little more causing the SD problems but not explaining why the Tivo suffers most.

Finally, he believes the network will shortly upgrade to 256 QAM from 64 QAM to get more bandwidth but I read somewhere that this had already been done. Anyone know?
Have a look at nedkelly's posts re 256 QAM. He is a network tech.
