We had a party for the NCAA basketball championship and when people saw it was in HD they couldn't beleave that I wasn't paying money for the signal. "So your antenna gets it off a satellite? No? So this is through the cable company then?" It took several minuets to convince some people that TV stations still broadcast their signal free of charge.
<br><br>There is absolutely nothing on cable right now that I regret not getting in HD. Maybe if Speedvision had Formula One or WRC in HD I would be upset. But for now I am not impressed with the HD cable channels. Though I would have liked to watch Rome in HD. But that was before I got the new TV. So there was no real issue at the time.
