    About 4 million US households subscribe to High Definition TV services. It's becoming a lot less expensive and Americans blow an incredible amount of dough on huge TV sets anyway.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      Is there an HDTV set for under a grand yet?

        Sure, there's a 32 inch HDTV set that sells for about $700. A 26 inch HDTV sells for $580.

          That's still more than I want to spend.

              That $400 27 inch HDTV looks like a piece of junk, but it still would be much better than a normal TV.

                Digital TV can be either standard definition or high definition. Standard definition digital TV is little better than your normal cable, except that they can put more channels on digital TV. The cable companies try to hype digital TV, but it's no big improvement.

                Sweden only has standard definition TV. The US, Japan, Canada, South Korea and Australia are the only countries with substantial programming in high definition right now. Most cable TV and satellite TV companies in the US offer at least a dozen high definition channels.

                It's not going to happen for a while.
                Yeah, Sweden has the cheapo Digital TV But who needs HDTV anyway? ****, who needs 100 channels for that matter? Digital TV is a scam to save money for the big TV networks, really. I only got it because it was an offer I couldn´t refuse. But the really annoying part is that the government has decreed that standard def Digital TV is the future. Thus the analogue TV transmissions will cease in 2007. All swedes must buy a digital decoder to be able to watch TV at all

                    But Hallmark is mostly crap and moralistic drivel, isn´t it?

                    And I want a anime channel also.

                        Yeah, well, mostly, but they "Law & Order" reruns there, too.

                        And I am a sucker for Law & Order.

                          I think we have Law & Order on 3 channels here already...

                          Verto, progress is good. Forced progress is not so good. People should be allowed to choose if they want Digital TV or not. It´s not like the analogue TV is falling apart

                                You can´t compare the two. If switching to Digital TV could reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses I´d support it wholeheartedly
