This is the only thread I could find on the subject, so if there is a more recent one please point me there.

Comcast/Xfinity has been upgrading to a new "platform" (X1) for a while now and they finally got to my area a few months ago. First thing I noticed was former 1080i channels are now 720p, and this is by design so they can fit more channels in the same space. That sounds like an upgrade for them, not the customer.
Channels that were formerly in 1080 rez that are now 720 include TCM HD, MGM HD and even premium channels like HBO!
The new X1 boxes allow 1080p vs the old 1080i boxes, which is the real kicker here. I've noticed a softer, less detailed picture as a result. What is Comcast playing at with this?
