Tom,
Good Eats certainly looks good in SD on a SD TV…
Its amazing, but the differences you encounter when watching SD on an HD TV are vast. Some channels look great, some look horrrible. Some shows on a particular channel look great while others on the same channel look terrible. Then there are the ones that look almost as good as HD when in close-up, only to turn to complete crap when cutting or zooming to a wide shot. It like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get…
