It's kinda silly arguing this point isn't it? Some of us like the source and resolution being shown, some of us don't.
These things never end with a victor just two irritated sides of the topic. :p

Honestly an hdtv recording at 1080p and a bluray/hddvd rip at 1080p if both saved at the same bitrate should look identical.
The problem lies likely with the compression/bitrate.
Being sure to only download hdrips that follow scene rules and ignoring the sometimes subpar p2p releases is the way to go.
The only other factor would be local interference at the time of recording.

I'm pretty sure HDTV broadcasts are compressed before being broadcasted... they definitely can be worse quality than BD/HDDVD rips.

I don't have cable so I wouldn't really know.
However I can't imagine that the compression from the tv networks would be any more noticeable than the compression used by scene groups in hd releases.
Now if you're talking about a full on 50Gb dupe of a bluray disc with no compression well yea the quality is going to be better.
I assumed we were talking the difference between a nice 1080 scene mkv of movie and a copy from a pay cable channel at the same res. :p
