Default Classics and other movies from Comcast not on Blu Ray

I see so many complaints about compression related to Comcast. Might give one the idea that the best thing to do is give up on pay TV and go Blu Ray. I am obsessed with movies. I love old movies in HD. Recently I have searched the internet for the movies I am watching in HD on Comcast. There are a lot of movies that are not yet available on Blu Ray. Older classics are not available, as well as many modern movies. In spite of the occasional flaw, HD is the real deal. I say Comcast beats Blu Ray.

I agree to a point as satellite beats Blu ray for HD content as well and in my area, satellite offers a better picture (less compression) then Comcast. Your area may be different.

Default I am a Comcast preferred customer

Cinemax is really my favorite. They got the oldest movies in HD. Many thanks to Twentieth Century Fox, and Paramount for great prints. Showtime gets new Paramount movies, not very new even. It is a wonder that they are not as good as Cinemax. More movies are likely on satellite. I made my choice with Comcast, and am sticking with it. Hard for me to say that satellite is better than Blu Ray without experience of HD on satellite. The sentiment is the same. HD movies uncut, commercial free, close to the way they were seen in movie theaters, blows me away. Knowing that they are not yet on Blu Ray makes them priceless. DVR, and On Demand are like rentals that I control. Instead of complaining about compression, I will love every minute of it. I can never get enough movies.
