HDTV isnt so bad..............

......IN STANDARD DEF ON AN OLDER TV!!

My sister has an HD cable box in her room,she left to go back to college on saturday so i brought the IRD to my room and disconnected my 3250 and hooked up the 8300..

WONDERFULL!!!!!!! -- (Besides the letterbox (Which i dont mind too much as long as its not TOO MUCH!!))

All these companies,etc saying YOU NEED A NEWER FLAT SCREEN HDTV TO WATCH THOSE CHANNELS is a bunch of BS!!

They look MUCH BETTER in standard def on an older TV!! (My TV is 15 yrs old or so)

Its all a scam to get people to spend money getting crap they dont really need!! (and might not want)

I think those newer FLAT SCREEN tv's are crap and look horrible.......

I could care less about "HD" (All HD does is stretch the picture (Which looks like crap)),im happy being able to view them in standard DEF :)

I like how Scientific Atlanta blocks the SA 3250 (And all standard IRDs) from rendering any HD channels to try and make people think they need a different TV,etc to watch them..... (They could render them in standard def as the 8300 does)
