Stepford, CA | Yawn HD is a joke. It's just another way consumers are getting shafted for the delivery of the same stale television programming we've suffered through all along. Save your money and don't run out and buy that next 300" plasma flat panel and you won't waste your money on DVR for the HD. |

The only joke is those stupid people still watching 1960's technology TV. Do you still play pong too? |

You have got to be kidding. HD is the best thing to happen to television. If network programming isn't your bag HD channels like Discovery HD, National Geographic HD, HBO HD, etc are also available. If you "can't tell the difference" you need to have your eyes checked. You don't even need a large screen to see the huge improvement in color reproduction. And if you simply don't want television technology to advance, why are you even on a website dedicated to emerging internet technologies with that sort of luddist attitude?

Some of the best TV shows occurred during the 1960’s and 1970’s and gladly many of them were in reruns during the 1970’s and 1980’s, some even in the 1990’s and beyond. »www.tvparty.com/fall67.html

Wow, never seen Planet Earth then evidently. Incredible nature series filmed in HD and showing scenes for the first time ever in that format with breathtaking views of wildlife never before seen on film or video. It's truly stunning.

HD is amazing, of course the programming isn't great, but it IS worth it for some people...

Re: Yawn "You gotta have 1080p!!!" is the real joke.
Save your money and settle for 1080i hardware, save some $$$, then in a few years upgrade when 1280p or whatever comes out with even less programming. |
