For the price though HDTV in my opinion is well worth it. My cousin has HDTV and the clarity between his TV and mine is like night and day. I think my summer purchase is going to be an HDTV or a HDTV tuner for my computer.
Tv is tv to me I am gonna get the converter boxes. I think its silly that all those tv’s go to waste just because they are’nt HDTV!! With the gas prices like they are who has money to go out and buy a new tv.
I’m loving how people are reviving 4 year old threads just to get points and with The Dragon.
Regardless, I’ve got Shaw providing my cable (in Manitoba, Canada) and there’s probably about 14 HD channels by now, and I rarely watch any of them. No point having a nice picture if there’s nothing worth watching.
I don’t plan on buying a HDTV anytime soon, but I am looking around on these threads for good recommendations. Also, I don’t watch too, too much TV and my TV is working fine, so I don’t think I’ll end up buying one anytime soon.
Since the start of this post, television stations have made huge strides in getting digital format established. With under 60 days left before the full fledged digital cutover takes place, most stations are still in the “education” phase. Once the nation is in full digital broadcast mode, expect a lot more effort being put into digital content. Also remember that the stations that are broadcasting in DTV format are doing so at reduced output levels.
Things are going to get a whole lot better in short order. One caveat though, if you haven’t upgraded your legacy tv to be able to receive digital signals, you better act fast. Knowing which digital to analog (DTV) converter box is best is paramount. These units are flying off the shelves and stocks are dwindling fast.
Better get your butt in gear before it’s too late.
