Cable/Dish companies should not be allowed to down convert HD signals. The customer can do that with their STB if they so choose. I have a Samsung OTA/QAM tuner on the bedroom TV (via s video)and I enjoy watching HD channels downconverted for that TV. The picture quality is far and away the best I have ever seen on a non-HD set, better than even DVD. BUT I do watch true HD in the living room and want that pure HD signal. Let the customer decide on how they wish to view it!
