    The edited stuff looks worse than the 640x480 VGA footage I get from my old Sanyo Xacti.

    didn't stay HD when stretched to 47"?

    It's either HD or it's not. It may be recorded in HD, but then either the DLNA software on the phone only transmits an SD stream, or it's still HD and the compression's really bad.
