The Satellite Installation from h-e-double toothpicks

And as predicted, we are watching a bunch of crap simply because it is in HD.

It's amazing how easy it is to get addicted to HD. Now I have a hard time watching the programs I like simply because the TiVo recordings we have are obviously not HD.

Is it really? I've never seen anything in HD. Just haven't happened to, I guess. But I've been wondering a lot if it really is that big of a difference. I know it'll be clearer, but does being able to see someone's pores really contribute that much to the show? With the changeover coming in 2009 anyway we've held off on even thinking about getting an HD set for now. But I'm still very curious nonetheless.

The clarity is really amazing, but I pity actors. Every little line, pit, scar, etc seems magnified. Maybe they will give up on trying to present a flawless exterior and focus on their acting skills for a change..........hmmmm. HD might not be such a bad thing.

I never understood why people ranted about the difference, but now that I have seen it, I understand. It's not about seeing the pores -its about the overall clarity.
