I have to agree with Rich.  I noticed this the first time I saw "HD" tv 
while working for Harris.  It was GREAT for maybe 10 minutes, then the same 
old thing.  More interested in what was going on then how more "clearly" I 
was seeing the program.  Just not enough justification for me to drop more 
$$ on a digital box that finally ends up on an analog display.  As for 
audio, I really like tape hiss.
