3: yes, they are liars, older tv's mostly don't show clearer picture because the filters just aren't designed considering higher horizontal/vertical frequencies as in hdtv/progressive scan is intended to. it can be worse though.

a simple attenuator uses just 2 resistors, so that impedance would stay in acceptable level u should know both output and input impedances of both devices. then it's quite easy to calculate values and make attenuator from pot and 1 fixed resistor, or just 2 fixed resistors.

that's why i stopped using eagle... >:(

Analog Devices: i've just build a 2x120W amplifier ONLY by using FREE SAMPLES!!! ;D
