    Older programming, HD vs SD

    I've seen some shows actually look WORSE in HD at least on DirectTV. Edges appear jagged or it appears you are seeing "double.' Some older episodes of Family Guy on TBS have that "double image" look.

    Calibration disc?

    Can anyone recommend a good calibration disc for an LCD TV? I have what I believe is the S&V calibration disc issued back in the 1990s when DVD first came out. Is there such a disc for calibrating your system for Blu Ray and HD?
