"Is Analog TV better on Analog set?"

Yes! It's kind of sad but true. I'm a video service tech for Comcast, and am in homes every day, all day long, looking at the SD cable reception.

People are very mad because they go and spend a ton of money and bring home a $4000 55" HDTV that looks worse than their old $400 32" analog set. So they call us. They'll say "It looked great in the store". Of course it did, it was receiving a HD feed. But unfortunately, they didn't ask to see what standard cable looks like.

People need to research a bit more before making major purchases. I am an extremist in this regard.
