He already established that he had HD set up and on HD w/the 32" CRT. So the checking to see if he only has 2 sats coming in etc is the waste of time.
I didn't read anywhere where he stated 100% that he had HD programming. A SD programming channel will show up good from a 722 on a CRT projection or TV of that sorts - then go to a full LED - BAM instant crappy picture.
