HD Guy Unregistered guest | I doubt that it would improve the PQ in your non-hd TV. I assume your non-hd tv does not have either component nor DVI inputs. If you connect your HD receiver to the TV via S-video or composite (RCA) connection, you would get the same old SD picture. Remember, you are as weak as your weakest link. I don't have Comcast so I am not 100% sure about this. I don't think Comcast carries HD channels through its S-video or RCA outputs. |

I don't think Comcast carries HD channels through its S-video or RCA outputs." Not possible to transmit HD signal through S-video or RCA (non-component) outputs. Figured you would know that "HD" Guy. |

HD Guy Unregistered guest | Unlike many people in this forum, I don't give out advices which I am not absolutely sure about. Even though I am quite sure that is the case but since I don't subscribe to Comcast, I can't be 100%. I am glad that you picked up on this point and to know that your statement "If the programming is in HD definitely" is not true at all in this case. |

fx Unregistered guest | I'll sing the same song as Dale and offer the reason to boot. HD is an all digital signal and neither an S-Video input nor an RCA input can decode any signal that is not analog. One small caveat, since an HD signal normally uses more bandwidth it is "possible" that even the analog converted signal will look crisper and have a bit more detail. xvxvxvx |

Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 672 Registered: Feb-05 | fx is exactly right. Forgot to mention that point. Thanks. |

Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 673 Registered: Feb-05 | HD Guy what do you mean? If you have HD equipment and an HD signal and there is not an obvious improvement in picture quality over standard definition, either something is wrong with the equipment, the signal or both. Or you simply are unable to see the difference due to extremely limited eyesight. I would posit this statement as an axiom. |

HD Guy Unregistered guest | I have seen enough pissing contests in this forum and I don't want to get into one. However, I think a basic reading comprehension class is in order for many people. The question was "can the picture be improved by using a hd receiver but with a non-hd tv?" and Dale's answer was "if the programming is in HD, definitely". I pointed out that HD programming is not carried thru the S-video or composite RCA outputs (the connections that Douglas could use on a non-hd tv and both Dale and fx concurred), hence Douglas would not see any improvement even if the programming is in hd (actually, he wouldn't see any of the HD programming at all). |

Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 676 Registered: Feb-05 | HD Guy. If what you say is true, then when I make a standard DVD recording from a satellite HD source using the S-video connection, the recording would be of no better quality than one made from the same program but broadcast in standard definition. I can assure you that is not the case. My DVD recordings from HD sources are siginificantly better than those from a non HD source using the same DVD recorder and same connection. Why do you consider this a "pissing contest" when it is only a debate about video quality? It's not the lack of reading comprehension that is the problem. It's thin skinned posters who take personal offense when some one disagrees with them. |

Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 679 Registered: Feb-05 | Nope. Try to log on during breaks. Good stress relief for the work I do. |

HD Guy Unregistered guest | First I have bad eyesight and now I am thin skinned. You are starting to sound like my wife. Actually Dale, you agreed with what I said about HD programs are not being carried via the S-video or RCA connection. I was the one who disagreed with your statment about HD programs would improve the picture when viewing with a non-hd tv. So your thing about thin skinned people who cannot stand disagreement should rest squarely on yourself. Enough said. Read the original question again and apply logic, not prophecy, to answer it. |
