I have a DISH SD DVR with an S-Video output going directly to an LG Plasma HDTV and a composite cable connected to a Samsung DVD recorder. The DVD recorder is connected to the TV via component 480P. I notice that if I watch DISH programming thru the DVD recorder I get a different picture than when I watch it directly to the TV (I can't decide whether it's better or not just different). I've also tried it running HDMI from the DVD recorder to the TV with similar results(the TV only has 1 HDMI input which currently being taken up by another DVD player). Is there any reason to believe I would get a better picture for DISH SD programming by watching it thru the DVD recorder via component (or HDMI for that matter). Also, would it be better to run the S Video from the DVR to the DVD recorder and the composite straight to the TV.
I have yet to switch to DISH HD since I watch local network HD programming over the air off an outdoor antenna with great results.
