I'm doing a lot of hooking up hd recievers with composite video and
educating on changing inputs thus eliminating the old RF junk---did another
one just today---averaging about one a day (no matter what the
repair---customers happier with both fix AND bettter pic) Seen a couple of
boxes that wouldnt output both 1080i component AND composite at the same
time--cust would need to switch both then---rare---at this point, Pic
quality is better---but never fantastic. Analog picture quality goes in
this order
Direct tv---best
Antenna---passable
Dish tv / cable ---sucks
