No offense dude, but that entire statement makes no sense whatsoever. How do sports look good, but nothing else?

The problem is that most TV shows are still taped in SD and then upconverted (or whatever). Try watching channels like Rush or Oasis on Bell and you will see it's not even close. The good news is that it's getting better every year. Survivor, for example, will be taped in HD for the first time this season.

Don't fool yourself and think that there isn't much difference. The problem is with the source of the content itself.
