Transcoding down to SD resolutions, means that you don't gain any
resolution in the process.
HDTV, however, is recorded and transmitted digitally. This means that
it does not pick up any NOISE in the process of being transmitted to
you. It is amazing how much better the picture looks when it is
"clean".
