   Given that the TV set is a 22 year old CRT set it couldn't handle   
   much resolution at the best of times. I'm happy and amazed that it   
   can do things like zoom in or stretch the resolution as well as it   
   can, although the PVR may be more responsible for that, but it allows   
   me to view quite high resolution signals a little better, even if the   
   horizontal edges are chopped off.   
      
   As I understand it, CRT screens don't have a native resolution,   
   so you can't put a maximum number on it. They basically take the   
   signal and just display it.. and yes, no doubt with some loss of   
   clarity, and that's limited by the TV's built in memory and such.
