New LED TV for SD Directv Programing
I would like a recommendation for a new 32" led tv to use with a standard def Directv receiver. I would like to keep this receiver because it is so easy to set up. Any suggestions will be helpful.

I am in the camp that believes HDTV's do a crummy job of displaying SD signals.
Some folks have an HD receiver and an HDTV but complain about a crummy picture. To do true HD, an HDMI cable must be used between the two. Using Component cables (red/green/blue) is almost true HD but you need to use Coaxial or Optical digital audio cables too to get surround sound. Using Coaxial RF (RG59 or RG6), Composite (yellow RCA) or S-Video will only produce an SD picture that has been downgraded from digital to analog.
Lastly, dish aiming for HD with DirecTV is the same as for SD with the small addition of setting the Tilt as published for the location.
