I know almost zero about HDTV but... When it came out I noticed high
end sets gave a great pix on digital or NTSC stations. Cheap sets gave a CRAP NTSC pix but HD was good. I had to be sure crap sets ran HD or everyone would walk. No big deal as you only made abt $30 on a 13" set but it may apply here. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

BTW, I don't know what it was that made cheap HDTVs give such a poor picture when fed an NTSC (analog) signal, unless the signal processing systems in those sets weren't that good to begin with (poor quality jungle ICs, for example). I would think most HDTVs would produce at least a passable picture if fed a half-decent NTSC signal; of course, if the signal quality is poor, the picture quality will be poor or unusable as well (GIGO: garbage in, garbage out). I've had Spectrum TV service since I've lived here (20+ years), even before the DTV transition, and have never had even five minutes worth of trouble with it; however, I have Spectrum's lowest level of service ("streaming" service, which does not use a cable box), and couldn't be happier. No cable box means I do not have to be concerned about an extra charge on my bill (this is important to me since I am a senior citizen on a fixed income), not to mention fewer cables dangling around behind the TV.
