Hey guys, check out what this guy from avsforum: "Most manufacturers thought that running a chassis at its maximum specs was a good thing, so most of them will convert any 15khz input to 31khz or higher. 31khz in this case would mean 480p. 1080i was an option as well. Anyway, the results...

Check this thing out: http://m.ebay.com/itm/Barco-ScreenPRO-II-HD-switcher-Multi-layer-video-display-system-/321833044851?nav=SEARCH Seems fancy! Maybe it does what I need it to so I can keep my DIRECTV SD service, ha

Very interesting. Looks I'll be going on a hunt for one of those special Barco projection TV's now I guess! JK! ? Actually stacking an HDTV on top of an SDTV is looking more and more attractive for my situation, ha. I never knew this much went into TV stuff. Holy Toledo! Texasbrit, thanks for...

Well DIRECTV signal is too compressed in my opinion. I mean I don't actually know if DIRECTV is just cutting corners for cost or if it's actually absolutely necessary to do, but their SD service doesn't even look as good as OTA SD. Well if anyone knows of a special TV like texasbrit mentioned...

Thank you, texasbrit. I don't know much about TV's, so I'm not sure if the two CRT HDTV's native resolution is 480p or 1080i. Over the inputs reads "480i/480p/720p/1080i". I'm assuming this is just indicating which resolutions the TV is able to receive? From what I've read, if you feed it 480i...

Errrr. So we can send someone to the moon and clone humans but we can't make a TV that is able to display HD and 480i?? I refuse to accept this! There must be another way!

I cant justify spending money on an HDTV when I already have hundreds of channels on the regular SD service, and stacking two TV's would be dumb and silly and not look right. This livingroom's not a teenager's bedroom. I just thought a CRT HDTV would be the solution so I could also watch OTA HD...

Yes, you are correct - compressed 480i DIRECTV is not going to look good being converted to 480p no matter what. That would be the problem. ? The reason I'm going through this is because I'm poor and cant afford HD service or an LCD HDTV. I can however watch OTA HD channels for free, as well as...

Anyone know of a special TV that can actually properly display both HD and plain SD 480i that's not deinterlaced to 480p?

Yeah I hear you, and appreciate the consideration. I pretty much understand the basic stuff stated in your suggestions. I'm using s-video out tried on two different CRT HDTV's: the Samsung Slimfit TX-R2779H and the Sony WEGA TRINITRON KV-30HS420. The Samsung is 27" 4:3 screen, nothing stretched...

Well I have SD service and an SD receiver... I've posted this on other websites like AVSForum and it seems like it takes a few times before someone realizes what I'm actually trying to do. Basically I'm trying to come up with a solution for being able to watch SD DIRECTV on an HDTV and it look...

Anyone have an opinion of the best way to view DIRECTV SD Service? I'm sure most will say on a CRT SDTV, but then what do I do about OTA HD channels? I'm trying to figure out a solution for watching DIRECTV SD service and HD sources like OTA all on one TV, and I thought one of the old rare CRT...
