Re: How do I know if HD is working?
The difference you see in Comet and Currys is always SD over composite, vs HD over HDMI. There is a WORLD of difference between them, composite is extremely noisey.

At home you're seeing upscaled SD over HDMI, vs HD over HDMI, which isn't noisey, and as such there's a much smaller difference.

Even SD over RGB scart on a TV with a decent upscaler isn't really that much of a difference.

Essentially the store demonstrations show you absolute worst case against absolute best case.
