was I the only one irritated with CBS?

And while we are on the topic of TV coverage, how about some love for the ladies? I know I'm in the minority, but I really enjoy the LPGA. And when their top Major (U.S. Open) only gets 3 hours a day of coverage (and even that gets cut into by early round, non-marquee Wimbleton coverage), its just wrong. [/rant]

I agree. We need to see more of Paula Creamer.

Im too cheap to spring for an HD TV. I recently got a digital converter box and that did wonders for picture quality. I think I need to get a better antenna though, the signal seems to come and go, which is pretty annoying.

I totally hear ya TWI. I was completely opposed to spending money on an HDTV (errrr, or even one newer than 10 years old . . .).

But then my mom decided that we should pitch in and buy my Dad a big TV for his birthday because he was getting older and was having trouble seeing the 32" TV I bought them 8 years ago. (FYI: This is a big deal for my mom - she always thought a TV ruined the look of a living room. ) So we decided that if we were going to buy a new TV, it might as well be an HD. I did online research, and my mom went to the stores and she picked one out. 4 months later, I went home for Christmas and saw the 52" Panasonic flat screen for the first time. It was really nice, but I still wasn't prepared to lay down that much coin for a TV . . . . . . until I got home. And the images on my TV looked like complete crap all of the sudden. Dammit, my Dad's TV ruined me. It was the sports broadcasts that did it. SO nice in HD. It was only a matter of time after that. And FYI, the HDTV images in most stores aren't even that good. They've usually got a crappy signal and they are splitting in among several TVs, which further degrades the signal. It's much nicer at home. Anyway, prices are coming WAY down, so keep an eye open. You might change your mind. I did.

Is this what you mean by "more of"?

Maybe, we'll see. Right now Ive got a flat screen Sanyo that is about 6 years old. I usually keep a TV until something goes wrong with it.
A couple years ago my parents got a new Phillips LCD, I think its something like a 36" or a 42" or something like that. Nice TV.

I have another one that I wanted to use, but I was afraid it might be over the line, even though it doesn't show anything:

Well said Harry.............I agree that the women's tournaments are shorted. They have some really good players and are much more pleasant to look at!
