The unfortunate fact of life these days is that most, if not all, of the
larger sets are HD today. That is both good and bad. The good is that
the larger sets pricing is steadily declining as mfgs can reduce sku's.
The bad is that SD programming doesn't look so good on widescreen sets,
and content on HD is much less than on SD.

SD looks perfect on my HDTV. Better than it does on a regualr SD set.

On my 61" JVC SD is fine, but it was better on my 36" tube. And it also
depends on which channel. Some SD is very good others suck pond scum.
All my personal opinion of course.

But things are rapidly changing in these technologies and pricing.

I don't pay for TV broadcast. Digital TV is free.

Cable companies are not expanding HD offerings much yet, but Dish
Network has (about 35+ channels), DirecTV says '150 channels this year'
and more and more broadcast stations are going HD.

What do I care what cable compainies do? I don't use cable or sat. Why
someone would pay for crappy TV broadcast over cable/sat when free ATSC
is available in their area.....

Each to his own, I suppose. I want the channels that are only LEGALLY
available on cable or satellite.
