I have had the Motorola 5100 for 6 months now. I have not noticed the need to add additional processing to the HD signal. It is excellent. The HD signal might be compressed, but movies on HBO in HD are equal to, or better than, viewing them on DVD. I would get the 5100 and judge for yourself.
Cable TV High Definition converter
My brother in law told me today (I am a newbie to home theater) that if I have cable (Comcast) the HDTV signal being sent over the cable is being compressed and that there is a box I can buy that decompresses it so that I get true (or at least better) HDTV. Is this true? If so, what is this box called? What brands are there? Is any one of them better than another?
Thanks
