The only thing on the TV fit to watch now are the old movies . Why should I worry about High Definition when the TV programs suck anyway.?
Oh and to make things worse now basketball season is on top of us Pheeeeeww. That really sucks.
Casablanca and other classics are showing up on hddvd/blu-ray. I happen to like both old and new movies, and they are all vastly improved with an HD source.
Guess what?? All those old movies and Tv programs that were recorded on film (not video) ARE being viewed in HD now! They were filmed in HD essentially. (film resolution exceeeds the eye, and exceeds 1080p)
Its ironic. My wife and I are watching Hogans Hero's on HDNET in HDTV and it is awesome (1080i). I have never seen such awesome resolution and brilliant colors in a TV series. They have loads of old movies that are getting scanned into 1080 resolution. they are fantastic.
I just finished watching the HD version of The Andromeda Strain last night. great.
In fact, HD will help preserve the old films and series while the latest crap that is recorded on non-HD video cams will fall into oblivion soon enough.
-Football
-HD Movies (even old ones are being restored and made available in HD)
-Discovery HD (very cool stuff)
