I will never get an HD TV, it is a waste of money TV is TV as far as I concern. I rather have cheaper prices. |

Boston, MA | In my area, having Digital Starter with an HD box costs the same as Digital Starter with a standard box. SD TVs will ramp down as HD TVs ramp up. Eventually it will be tough to find. Also, once you see it, you become an HD snob. |

I pretty much avoid programming that isn't in HD. It looks piss poor, and cuts off 1/3 of the picture. Not that all HD programming is broadcast in widescreen, but most is. |

Since getting my HD TV and upgrading to the HD box I can't tell you the last time I went below channel 200 on the comcast box.

for those in heavy credit card debt, there is no argument that justifies hd. however, if finances permit, the difference in picture quality from sd to hd is stunning. we've had hd for 2 years or better now, and we still am blown away when we see an hd program with picture clarity/sharpness that is breathtaking. again, it's not at all an issue where the picture is a little nicer; not at all---------------the picture is razor sharp & you see details that will amaze you. as they say, never say never. bub |

NO ONE gets 1080p channels. All HDTV, whether broadcast, satellite or cable, is all 1080i. |
