So I've had a 30" Philips Hi-Def TV for a year up in our sitting room and used it for movies only... but the other night I watched the Olympics in HD at a neighbor's... and it was a revelation. This coincided with my general "being tired" of having that TV in the sitting room, which is a very cute space and didn't deserve all of those wires causing trouble.
So last night we did a TV Fire Drill: Living room TV to basement in front of workout gear... perhaps that will inspire. HD tv to living room. Hook up the big surround sound.
Today we finished the deal: Traded in the DVR for an HD DVR from the cable company, and voila, I'm watching figure skating RIGHT NOW in glorious hi-def... and have also set up the hi def for movies too... while maintaining an "easy" hookup for Bella's VHS and DVD movies with another player.
Ooooh, it is very nice. And you can sure see the wrinkles. And thanks to Paul Sebastien for his comment about Discovery HD - that's just gorgeous too.
And the sitting room is looking more inviting than ever. I have a new-ish Iain M Banks book that's been dying to get itself read.
