My Name Is Earl HD Easter Egg
This is what I love about high definition television. When Conan O’Brien went HD, he showed off how there were things that only those watching in HD would be able to see. Last night’s episode of My Name Is Earl did something similar, but you had to be paying attention to catch it. Earl’s brother, Randy, was standing off to the side and held up a sign that read “High Def Rocks!” If you were watching on a standard definition television, Randy was too far off to the left to be seen. I implore you - if you want to see the entire picture, go HD.

wink wink, nudge nudge… we can afford an HDTV
I don’t think seeing a slacker holding a smartassed sign, or someone else goofing off-screen on Conan O’Brien justifies the cost of entry into HDTV land.
The cutoff date for the end of analog transmission keeps getting pushed back because advertisers are panicing at HDTV’s dismal market penetration.
You realize digital transmission and HDTV are completely different. Digital transmision of TV shows can be in both normal quality and HD quality. All you need is a Digital tuner for the TV, you don’t need a TV capable of HD resolutions.

Please don’t tell my husband that. If he thinks he is missing something more with HD, he will never let me sleep through the night. All he wants is a flatscreen plasma or lcd tv, that is hd ready, that hangs on the wall, and is about 50+ inches, and he has been talking about said item for about 2 years now.

LOL, that’s funny but I’m not sure that will motivate me to go HD quite yet. When all standard television is in HD, then I’ll hop on the bandwagon. Right now I just can’t justify the cost.
