Re: Very interesting

My source was a RCA DTC100 DirectTV hdtv receiver playing both standard DSS programming and hdtv programming out of the svid output. I watch mostly DSS programming (too much video compression by the way) and used it as a reference for improvement of everyday programming. I then used broadcasted hdtv programming playing out of the svid jack and rapidly a/b/c compared it to another cable on another svid input and also the true hdtv output on my 61" Sony HDTV to see the differences. I figure, I cannot get a better video source than 1080i hdtv down converted to the 480i of svid.

In my opinion, unless you have a high definition big screen, or your tv is 32" or smaller, the improvements may not be noticeable. Also if you have a front or rear projection tv, and it is not tightly focused and converged, you have other more serious problems that will mask any improvements you will get in the signal, since the improvements are fine.
