In my setup using FiOS, the picture quality is like this (in ascending order):

1) local or cable channels;
2) Netflix;
3) Blu-ray.

Blu-ray is the best, but Netflix is better than the channels, probably because the channels compress the signal.

We had a problem w/ Netflix for a year or so when their bandwidth was choked, until they made a deal w/ FiOS.

Starting a Netflix show or movie, it starts out very rough, at around 240p, but within about 20 seconds it ramps up to 1080p.

I've never tried Amazon, so can't comment on their quality.
