Blue curve Xi6 picture quality vs. Gateway

Switched to BCurve from Gateway, and though I like the feature set of the wireless 4k boxes, the picture quality is NOT the same at all.  I am not getting pixellation or other issues reported here, system is working fine, and internet signal strength is excellent.  However, there's simply not the same crispness of picture (if you have a good TV you will notice the picture is like comparing a poor TV's 720p quality (B Curve)  to a great TV's 4k in the gateway...and often actually worse!) that we had with Gateway, and also the colours are NOT the same and off (tint is screwed up, colours don't "pop" as before and the tint effect changes from channel to channel so you can't adjust for it!)

I guess having the signal over the internet simply can not compete??  Really frustrating as I just want to be done with setting up my Shaw system.  Twenty five years with Shaw, days and hours of headaches and life lost to holding on calls, and I still can't get a system in my home's that is THOUGHT OUT and delivers proper functionality!

Almost like what happened when you turned contrast down or picture quality down on old TV's and got a less vivid/dull/hazy picture.

I'm wondering if I can live with this for it's features when Gateway system is FAR superior for quality.
