Well the answer is wrong in that case also. A digital TV set does lots of
digital processing before information is sent to the display. Many digital
sets with analog displays do a much better job when fed a digital source.
Less analog to digital conversion, and often better digital to analog
conversion than offered by a DVD player or a Digital tuner, dish or cable
box.
