it's a blur

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Need some input, gang. I bought a Sony KD36XS955 CRT about two months ago and feed it with regular cable, an antenna and Dish 500 satellite with high def package. At least 90% of my viewing is standard def.
My problem is that when watching programming where the images of people are somewhat distant in perspective [that is. not close-up], the faces and bodies seem to have a fuzzy halo on and around them. Simply put, images lack sharpness and clearcut detail. I find the same thing with some of the ever-present station logos in the corner of the screen.
A service tech came out, looked at everything, saw what I saw and agreed with my assessment but found nothing wrong with the tv and attributed it to poor quality input from my sources.
I'm having a hard time comung to terms with this as I never experienced this problem with my old tv {10 year old Mitsu 35" screen with black diamond tube} and because I have multiple sources.
The Dish 500 unit is brand new and had been installed by one of their contractors the previous week, replacing the old 300 unit I had had since 1996.
Meanwhile, Sony has sent me the service survey and wants my blessing.
I'm all ears and thanx.
