It's fed by a Bell Expressvue satellite dish.
Or is it just a matter of my eyes adjusting to the change ?

Do you have an HD receiver? If not, the picture is not up to top
quality. You should see a definite difference compared to a CRT.


... ahhh .. gulp .. nope.
Just an old regular sat receiver ..
I got a feeling I'm not finished spending money quite yet ..

Sorry to tell you, but yes, you need a new receiver and possibly more to
get the full HD picture. You may want to contact your satellite
supplier to get fixed up properly.

Upgrading sat. receiver may be easiest solution. Or there is other
method like using A/V receiver with video upscaling capability.
It is a matter of additional cost to get the benefit of full HD
viewing.
