Re: Why is my new HD TV worse than the old one?

Below is a link to Motorola's explanation. Refers to their DVRs, but should apply to the regular HD boxes also. I use the Motorola 6200, and yes, my analog channels can look pretty crappy, actually snowy. The standard def digital channels look excellent, and of course the HD channels are best.

I found using the black enhancement filter in the RPTV helped alot with the analog channels. Also I had the cable company install a drop amp where the cable enters the house, which also helped greatly.

Many TV designed for HD compromise the sd picture. I needed a new 27" set for my bedroom. Even though I was sending a standard def signal to it, I bought a Zenith HDTV to be "future proof". The SD picture was so bad, I returned it for Sony's then SOTA standard def 27". MUCH BETTER!
