Well then I give up. Aemon Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 07:16:05 PM
You sit close, you have good eyes, and you've done good tests; sounds like an equipment problem. If I were you, I'd get a second opinion ("hey friend_x, does this channel look like HD when compared to this channel?" ), and, if they think as you do, call your cable guy out. You shouldn't be expecting HD to change your life, but you should see a sizeable difference. Or at least SOME difference. The biggest thing to me is that you're saying you see no difference at all. If you just didn't think it was a big difference, then maybe I could argue that your expectations were out of whack. As it really does look the same, though. . .I bet you've got a problem.

Good luck.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 1231 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 1169 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 550 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 1012 Views

I'm glad you like it better, but everything I've read says that's incorrect. Aemon - 21/12/2010 07:06:26 PM 998 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 1029 Views
I can see the wrinkles and nose hairs much more clearly. I am not necessarily keen on HD. TMI. *NM* Tashmere - 21/12/2010 12:43:59 AM 513 Views

There's nothing wrong with not caring, only with not being able to tell. Aemon - 22/12/2010 02:31:24 PM 944 Views

Blu-ray looks fantastic on the right set, but I wouldn't go crazy over subscription media. *NM* Zalis - 22/12/2010 02:20:16 PM 543 Views
