Going High-Def
I’ve had a HD TV for almost two years now but I’ve never seen any HD content on it, just grainy cable and regular ol’ DVDs. So today I bought an upscaling DVD player that will “convert” the DVD picture to an HD-like picture. I played around with the various settings and I think I saw a marked improvement between the 1080i conversion and the regular picture. But maybe its really a sugar pill thing, I see it because I think it must be there.
Next up is HD programming either cable or satellite. We had been planning on cable but our local Adelphia has been replaced by TimeWarner and they aren’t carrying the CW which means no Gilmore Girls and therefore they are not in the house’s good books. So we might move to satellite, some good deals to be had including HD DVRs but finally we might get to see what the TV can do.
