Wow, those Best Buy technicians are amazing, aren't they?
Electronics retailing giant Best Buy is stooping once again to generate business, showing they are willing to go to any length to get it, and they are certainly not going to let truthfulness or ethics get in the way.

Seems Robert went HDTV shopping at Best Buy for his father and noticed something odd about the Geek Squad HDTV calibration service sales display. The HDTV showing the benefits of calibration was tuned to ESPN HD and unsurprisingly showed a crisp detailed picture. The other before HDTV, of identical model, had a blurred and grainy picture, but not because of the skills of the Geek Squad. According to Robert, the before HDTV was also tuned to ESPN, but not the HD version, which Best Buy employees had gone to some lengths to disguise by hiding the SD channel logo behind a sign advertising extended warranty plans.
