It's better to ask this question on the AVS Forum, try this link: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/index.php?s=7a55cd4bbf7db0de0458510d18f9c3b0
From what I've read, many seem to like SDTV transmissoins better on older analog sets. They claim that the newer, HDTV sets show so much detail, they make the older analog signals appear worse (garbage in, garbage out). I've read so many claim analog signals looking better on older analog sets, I've decided to wait until more stations broadcast in HDTV until I spring for a set. Maybe that's why stores won't display HDTV's with analog sources, at least the ones I've been in. They will gladly show you what's on the HDnet channel, or a DVD, but when you ask to see regular SDTV, I'm told they can't do it. The sets aren't hooked up to regular cable or sat. I was thinking of getting one for Christmas, but I think I'll wait. The AVS Forum has a wealth of video knowledge. Good luck.
Regards,
John
