So at this point, is there any excuse to have a decent job and NOT have an HDTV???

[D-NICE]

Yea most people should be able to get one at this point. That being said, if people not trying to pay for actual hd cable they might as well keep a regular Tv. Feel like ive had this conversation to many times with my parents and to many other people...

Me: nice tv, what's the specs

Parents: Thanks its 55' 1080p

Me: when the cable supposed to get your hd set up

Parents: we not paying for that, the Tv is hd

Me:

Here's another funny thing...

People with cable channels and the SD channels watching the SD channels without realizing there's an HD feed

I used to walk in the family room at my parents house, and be like, "why are yal watching the game in SD?" Would grab the remote, and put it on the HD channel and they would be like...

My grandparents are like this. They have a 60 inch LG and a 80 inch Mitsubishi DLP but always have the standard def channels on. They have the HD channels and everything but they so old school they claim they can't tell the difference and just keep on the SD channels out of habit of knowing the channel numbers for so long.

Goldenglove and Antagonist, y'all gonna make me have to check my in laws Tv out cause it don't make sense for them to have hbo and showtime and not have hd.

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

Ya'll gotta go to the options of your relatives' cable box and disable the SD channels

I got the 50" tv with DLNA and what do I do? download a bunch of movies in xvid why? because it was a smaller download

one day I got an action movie in x264 HD and have never looked back
