I wonder if companies are starting to figure out that the best way to get me to actually watch a commercial is to do it in HD. I was skipping through commercials while watching Lost on my HD DVR, but stopped to watch the Target Choxie and Toyota Camry commericals that they showed back to back in HD.
Its getting to the point now where I will not watch certain things in TV, like the NBA, unless they show it in HD. There is a sports bar I frequent that has one HDTV and probably 30 SD ones. I think its a 30+ inch CRT that has a great picture. I will fight to get in position to watch that one TV because the picture is so crisp. I even ignore the 60+ inch SD projection TV that is right below it.
Hi, my name is Sam and I'm addicted to HD TV.
