My dad recently bought a 32" Sony Bravia S class LCD TV (http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...51&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11040229)
He only has antenna, no cable or satellite. Many antenna channels around here prodcast shows and major sport events in HD. With his Mitshubishi rear projection TV that is upstairs, when a HD show comes on, the TV will flicker and then produce the show in HD.
Now the Sony Bravia does not do this. When you first set it up and scan for the channels it picks up the regular channels and then some digital channels. THe digital channels are a few over the air channels that are brodcast constantly in HD. However, the regular channels, that do broadcast in HD on certain programs, just remain in SD whenever a HD broadcasted program comes on. The people from Best Buy who we bought it from do not know why it doesn't do this
They said to email sony, which I did, but they gave no help.
So does this TV just not switch from SD to HD like the one upstairs? I have heard from a few people that it is because the Mitshubishi has multiple tuners, and the Sony only has one, therefore it cannot switch from a SD signal to a HD signal.
Sorry if this seems confusing...If anyone could help out on this, I would greatly appreciate it. I told him I would set up his new TV and surround sound as part of a fathers day gift, and this is a problem (He really like to watch sports in HD)
Thanks, Matt.
