Just because a particular show is on an HD channel, does NOT MEAN that the show is actually native HD. It's very likely, that show was SD, and they just did a "stretcho-version" of it, to show on their HD channel.
Also, Dish can throttle back the bandwidth of any channel on the fly, and this can cause "less than stellar" results for any video, either SD or native HD. Also of course, you need to be watching on an actual HD tv set. Don't laugh, some people think they can get HD on an SD set, just because the picture is "stretched".
ABCHD does not do stretch-o-vision. Could have been the show itself. harry Potter movies looked fine (even though they are not OAR).

Could have been an sd program and format button on the remote set it to stretch making it look worse.
It should look as good as when you recorded it as the data stream is recorded digital to disk and is played disk to HDMI digital or RGB analog.
At any time, however, the output resolution could be reduced thru the menus, so check that you are still using 1024i or 720p depending on the HDTV being driven.

But that's a horse of a different color. Rather have that, then stretch-o-vision.
