Re: Why is my new HD TV worse than the old one?

The Motorola box is digitizing the standard channels and doing a bad job of it. Do what I do: split the signal and run one cable into the box and the other directly into the set. I only switch to the DVI input on my 36" Sony XBR when I want to watch HD off the set-top box (STB). Otherwise, I watch on the standard RF cable input. Best of both worlds. Sony's TVs usually have an excellent tuner. Motorola's HD box obviously does not.

FWIW, I have a Scientific Atlanta 3250HD box and it isn't very good at standard def TV either.
