Well, the DirecTV box indicates its an HD channel and the network advertises it as an HD channel, so I assume it's not SD. The installer said those are HD channels. It's not from an over-the-air antenna, it's from DirecTV's satellite. I have seen one pretty good HD transmission from the NBC channel I get, and it looked like HD. So I assume it can be done, but so often they're not sending a very good HD transmission or the source is just low rez. I don't know for sure where it's coming from, but I assume its just the poor source.
