Can anyone say DOA. This thing will be a dud in a year and anyone who buys it can set it right next to their betamax player and Nintendo Virtualboy! |

| Yeah, this is over before it began. DirecTV is setting the standards for HD, albeit, low quality HD (if that's even possible to say). I can't see people buying DirecTV/cable w/HD to get regular channels then buying yet another service for HD movies...
However, HBO, Cinimax and the others all have "series" now and even if great only last two years then poof (except Surpranos - sp?). That being said if the selection is latest and greatest and cheaper than HBO + Cinimax combo, that might be the market.

this sounds like it just upconverts as NOBODY (terrestrial, cable or satellite) is sending true 1080P broadcasts. * y a w n *

| said by guhuna  :DirecTV is setting the HD standards? HA HA! I chuckled there for a bit. I was speaking in regards to being a leading provider of HD. There are other issues in terms of quality with their service. Nobody does TrueHD yet so this provider may be the first and in that case they'd be "setting the standard" but as with my main point, they won't have any customers... so is that really standard setting?
