Re: [ARSCLIST] Analog NTSC from digital

[Jeffrey Kane <jeffkane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Every HD box I've ever seen has had composite video outputs. Quite a few
even have RF modulated analogue and many output full HD AND down-rezzed
composite simultaneously! My SA8300HD cable box feeds a Slingbox via
composite at the same time it's feeding a plasma.

I think most HD or digital cable boxes allow multiple analog outs.  I have
my standard def Sony CRT hooked up to an HD satellite box with the component
cables and the picture looks great.  The box also has S-video, composite,
and an RF coaxial jack, as well as HDMI.

The main TV in the living room is HD and the picture quality of HD
transmissions will blow you away.  Last night I watched a show that was
nothing but aerial shots of Greece.  There was very little informative
content, but the pictures were amazing.  I'm reminded of the early days of
television when simply showing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same
time was a big deal.

With the TV set up properly HD broadcasts look great and blow SD out of the
water...
