If I watch hockey on an SD channel vs. the HD equivalent channel it isn't a different recording, but it is very clearly worse than HD. The graphics in particular are fuzzier and it can be hard to read the clock/score vs. on the HD channel. The graphics are certainly be optimized for HD now; and maybe we would just have bigger overlays in the past to reflect the poor resolution (but with smaller screens, maybe not). Also, a CRT has a different amount of "fuzz" to it than a new LCD TV; so some details which look ugly now might not have mattered as much.

Of course it is, we collectively didn't spend the money on moving to HD because it's the healthy thing to do. Arguing that HD isn't superior to SD would be silly. Good thing that wasn't what I was saying. What I am saying is that if you were to go watch an old episode of Taxi on CBS All Access, it did not look as bad when it originally aired on a CRT as it does on CBS's rip from whatever source they used.
