| lotta clueless goobs remember how many people said they "can't get the flashing 1200 off their VCR" back in the day when most people used VCRs? They apparently have not gotten any less clueless and are now buying HDTVs. |

Bolingbrook, IL | Exactly. I can't believe people would go bleeding edge and drop THOUSANDS for an HD set, only to watch SD. It's rediculous, and makes me feel better for saving my money. |

Ah, updating the VCR and getting HDTV aren't exactly in the same technical group. |

Glen Allen, VA | said by dogo88:Ah, updating the VCR and getting HDTV aren't exactly in the same technical group. I would disagree. The VCR was as "leading edge tech" as HDTV is today and in both cases you have the people who just look at the shiny box and think that they must have it with doing a bit of research into what is it that they are buying or how it works.
Back then, you had the people who couldn't pick up a manual to update the VCR clock and today you have the people who couldn't pick up a mouse to research how an HDTV works. |

| haha I just switched my entire building of 10 subscribers to Dish Network over the weekend specifically for the MPEG4 HiDef they provide. We cancelled DirecTV.  |

hopefully HDMI will make HDTV as user friendly as SDTV and a single coax cable. that and maybe adding something to the program guide, when someone punches up the SD version of a network maybe it could say in the program guide "to watch this in high defination tune to channel xxx".
