Re: [iO] TV signals not clear
The bigger the screen, the worse SD will look, especially if you're closer then the optimal viewing point for your size set.
So comparing my 27" SD set to my 50" HD set, yes, the SD channels look "worse".
Since you have an 8300HD, the channels are digital so unless you're seeing macro blocking because of poor signals, you're seeing the digital picture as it is for everyone. |

4 edits | How do I determine optimal viewing point, nothing in TV instructions? 40" T.V. I am about 7 feet away. So from what I described above, there is nothing I can do but wait till there are more channels on HD? It seems strange, because I had a 32" console TV for 15 years which just broke, so I bought this one. I think the picture was actually larger on the old TV than the square mode picture on this TV, but the old TV had a much sharper picture. I guess modern technology is not always the best! |

| Using »www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learn···ent.html as a reference:
34" ... 4.25-7 feet
42" ... 5.25-8.75 feet
So 7 feet should be fine. |

Mount Kisco, NY | 24 Is showing up as "720" on the DVR. It looks good, but does that mean it is not full HD?
