If you have a small room, that's actually BETTER for HD. If you are sitting close you need a smaller TV to see the difference. So, according to the chart, at 8ft you only need about an 80" screen to get the full effect.

And they wonder why HD is not taking off as fast as projected...

Oh and just for the record (I'm sure you already know this..) the government mandate to switch to digital TV only effects people who still use rabbit ears to get their programming. If you have any cable or satellite service you are immune from this change.
