High Definition?

Is HD cable available in your area? This might be a cheaper alternative. Comcast HD cable offers 8 regular channels and 2 premium in HD, but they don't always broadcast in HD.

If your asking if it's worth investing in an HDTV I would probably say yes. Not for the programing that's available but rather for the crisp picture when viewing movies through a progressive scan DVD player.

Yes.

Direct TV has four or five HD selections without buying into HBO, etc., or pay-per-view.

The picture is so good that you will wish you had a printer to preserve the picture.

Also, if is important to know if you live in an area that receives HD Television broadcasts using UHF signals. \

Even the audio is digital and, especially on PBS, the feed is worth running through your best DAC.
