I often watch 320x240 h.264 encoded video on the Aquos via AppleTV, which is technically half SD resolution, and even THAT is certainly watchable for disposable recordings of SD TV broadcasts (like the wife's soaps and stuff).
Also, how close are you sitting? If you walk right up to an HD set running an SD broadcast, it does look very muddy compared to a bluray. But at a normal sitting distance its not that bad.

There's a noticeable decrease in quality. The letters are a little blurry, just not very clear. It's kind of like watching TV on one of those extremely cheap TV's you see at walmart.
I'm sitting far enough and it's still blurry.
