There are a lot of people like that. When my mother-in-law first got Directv, she told me how great the HD channels looked. When I came over, it didn't look very good to me. I looked and installer had set the receiver to output 480i.
Comcast here instructs its installers to connect all HD boxes via RF connection over coax. NTSC for everyone.
Well, it's not about telling HD from SD. It's about believing in what you are told and seeing improvement where there is none. In medicine this is called [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo"]Placebo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame].

Ramy at best buy, the question I have is were you Chuck or Morgan?
Definetly Chuck. I was part of Geek Squad. It is strange how similar we were. I was asked to be the supervisor but I turned it down because for one I was making more money at my full time job and they didn't want to at least match it. Second reason was all the days off and the M-F 8-4 schedule.

Ahh that was excellent, a must see if your a bottled water nut.
If this is the case I think more people need to be seeing their local eye doctor.
Scary, yes, but it tracks well with my experience. One guy actually had me reconnect his coax because he didn't think it looked any better, and he only wanted one cable - and a cable that he was familiar with. To this day, I wonder if he had cataracts.
