The price for a true HD experience is still too much for the
average joe. Unfortunately, the roughly $1k necessary for a real HD set
(not a 720p/1080i "capable" set, but a true HD physical-pixel device) is
all the average person likely puts forth. The $50-$100/mo necessary for
all the doodads that go with it (Cablecard, STB, DTV, etc) are still
beyond most. Most of the general population gets a HDTV set, connects to
their DVD player with an S-vid cable, and convinces themselves that the
picture is "amazing".... just because it cost them $1k-$2k to get it, not
because it actually *is*.
