You're full of doo doo. I have stated this before and will state it again, people dont buy expensive gear because they "THINK" its really good just because its "expensive", they buy expensive gear because they KNOW its really good and want it bad enough they are willing to pay "expensive price" to get it. The horse pulls the cart, the cart doesnt push the horse.

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*. -Cory -- ************************************************************************ * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************ * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
