A mismatch can cause ghosting in an analog TV.
What does ghosting do to a digital TV signal?


Your worst nightmare. From 10 years ago:

(Note the sales predictions, which were totally wrong).
All DTV chipsets now have ghost elimination circuitry, which does a

with references to others in citations. I won't pretend to understand
how it works.
