I have an HDTV and HD programming. All sports look a lot better in HD.

Once you've had HD... you can't go back... it's such a difference maker.

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.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      I voted for all four dates

      #1. I rather lower my score by 3 instead of making an eagle... but a hole in one is a hole in one and I'm still didn't make one.

      Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
