Regular SD channels on a HDTV?  Yeah,  but they look crappy with any cable/satellite provider.  HD channels look great tho.

yah because i got my directv HD and everything except discovery hd looks like garbage. The NBA playoffs when the players are running down court it really gets pixelated, i actually think the old crappy antenna i had when i first got the TV was better :( I'm switching to cable.

Oh DirecTV...Google "HDLite directv" and you will find out what the problem is..

Here is a couple samples.

Basically,  DirecTV is lowering resolution to 1280x1080, and they are also lowering bitrates to save bandwidth..Yet Dishnetwork has more than twice as many channels in HD,  and they don't do the same crap as DirecTV..
