In Reply to: Why is my new HD TV worse than the old one? posted by Jim Thomas on November 29, 2004 at 17:11:17:
I have a SONY KV34XBR910 and use Cablevison cable service.
The STB is a Scientic Atlanta Explorer 4200HD.
My picture quality is terrific on any channel.
Sometimes I don't even realise I'm watching the regular channel
instead of the HD equivalent! It's not because the HD isn't better,
it's because the standard channel is that good.GTF

But your picture quality has a lot to do with your cable service provider and not just the STB. As an example, in my area (Denver) analog Comcast is pretty pathetic to begin with going directly into my Sony XBR TV. Coming from the Motorola digital STB, it was even worse. The only decent looking channels from the STB were the HD or premium channels. That said, my parents who are on Cox in S.CA have razor sharp and 100% crystal clear channels from their STB. Go figure. I'm about to dump Comcast and go with a Satellite service.

Since I am on Motorola STBs, your Scientific Atlanta experience is probably not relevant. However, as I said in the original post, the non-HD picture on the old box and TV looks great. It is only the new box & TV that are causing the problem.
