On a related matter: I've noticed that BestBuy has all smaller HD LCD
sets connected to a (coax) RF input. Picture quality surely appears to
be HD, although this is difficult to ascertain on the smaller screens
(up to 26"). I asked the sales person how BB manages to achieve such a
fine image with only an RF input. His explanation, as expected, was
somewhat rambling and made absolutely no sense. Any idea how this may
be achieved?
