Comcast H264 channels moving to 720?

So is this right? All the channels I've found that have moved to MPEG4/H.264, according to 411info, show a native size of 1280x720. Is anyone else seeing or aware of Comcast reducing the resolution of channels along with this conversion? I swear before conversion the channels I've looked at were 1080...

Or is this some issue in WMC? If they're really decreasing resolution, this seems like a huge service issue...

Yep, Comcast is doing this intentionally. See these threads: http://www.tivocommunity.com/community/ ... 0p.542203/

Thanks for those refs. I feel taken advantage of... again.
