The thing I have enjoyed the most HDTV is that it has made sports that I typically have not watched or even had interest in exciting and make me want to become a fan. A good example is Hockey I have always known that this is a great sport but never could followed it on the TV but now its so crisp and clear it has made be a fan.

Yup, it's great for watching Carolina games, right?

I've got a 50" Panasonic plasma TV that does 1080p and the HD package from Verizon FIOS TV. It pains me to watch standard definition TV.

Yes, my cable provider gives it for Free.

The Golf Channel is not in HD.
But the GolfVS channel is. Some times its golf, sometimes its bullriding or UFC matches.

I've got an HDTV. But since we live in the Netherlands there aren't a lot of HD broadcasters... Just Discovery and NGC. But now temporarely: The European Cup (football), Tour de France and the Olympics in HD! And soon: Eurosport HD ;) So it'll come, it just takes time.

HD is super, but it takes the shine off of watching non-HD broadcasts, which is a pity as HD broadcasting is still relatively niche.

Niche? I dont think so anymore. Most TV manufacturers are not even making SD sets anymore. And we are 8 months or so away from the Digital age. Where all tv is HD by govt mandate.

Does the mandate include HD? For some reason, I thought it was just a switch from analog signals to digital signals.

That is correct, it does mean just digital signal. However since 90% of tv manufacturers are all HD now, they predict that by quarter 3 of 2009 85% of all channels will be HD.

And that will be wonderful in my eyes(literally)!!!

Now that HD cameras are affordable for independent stations, almost everything will be shot in HD

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
