High Definition?


Is it worth going to HD with Directv? I mean is there enough programming for about a 1K investment? I'm looking at a Sony HD 300, good component cables, and adding a third LBN to my dish to go with my Pioneer Elite. Or should I sink it into the audio fund but piss off the wife...

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. \

Go to www.antennaweb.org to see what you could get.

Even the audio is digital and, especially on PBS, the feed is worth running through your best DAC.
The truth is,, its so much better you will find yourself watching HD net just because it is so clear. I constantly find something i would have normally had no interest in with amazement and complete interest, not only is it a great picture its a great eye opener to many things you might not have been exposed to previously.

It really amazes me that hi definition hasn't caught on much more rapidly, its really the only way television should be watched.
Buy it and you will love it.
