The small print text on some programs is virtually unreadable.

I guess they are using a very high compression etc.

The best way to describe the quality, it's like the dodgy pirate VHS\Betamax tape a guy would bring round in the back of a transit van.
Must admit I find it hard to watch anything in SD these days, as you say some of the cable SD content is very poor. Part of the problem is the upscaling required to display it in 1080 on most tv's (assuming that's what you're watching it on).
