My SD quality with Dish is WAY better than it was with Charter Cable. I have the 622 DVR hooked to a 50" Pioneer plasma through HDMI.

With Charter, many of the SD channels are still in analogue and were unwatchable. The digital SD's varied wildly in quality, with many having washed out colors. The SD channels from Dish are all at the higher end of the spectrum I got with Charter.

I wonder if the SD picture quality with HDMI varies by receiver. I also wonder if hooking your TV up via RCA as well as HDMI would be the best of both worlds. Just switch to the other input on the TV when watching SD content.
