Agreed the price of the sets are coming down, but you still need a STB to get a HD signal which is another couple hundred of dollars or an additional charge from your cable company over and above the digital STB charge. |

| That is true, though I think you would be nuts not to get HD, you certainly don't need it to enjoy the benefits of what they are doing.
TV's are coming way down. A 56" 16:9 rear projection TV I paid $3200 for 3 and a half years ago now cost you about $1800.
Many TV's are starting to add the O-T-A HD tuner and I believe the rest are required to have them after January (If I understood my supplier correctly). This will probably add a few bucks (between 100 and 200), but like everything else they will probably be down to what they were in a year or so. |

@charter.com | I maybe wrong, but I thought it was closer to a 1,000 dollars more with the built in tuner. |
