It clearly is popular and gaining widespread acceptance.<br><br>The question is really more about whether or not people will get upset when their analog TV's stop working.  Lots of people are upgrading now for their showcase TV.  How many people want to have to replace every TV in their house (I only have 1 but I know lots of people who have many TV's).<br><br>Once the date where that's going to come around, that's when we're going to have to see how widespread HDTV adoption really is.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 8th 2006 4:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Think HDTV will succeed?

Have satellite?  Your TV will work EXACTLY the same.  Have digital cable?  Your TV will work EXACTLY the same.  This only affects people who are still using rabbit ears or analog cable.  I just can't imagine that there's THAT many people who will be affected.  Maybe I'm wrong?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Xyzzy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 8th 2006 4:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Think HDTV will succeed?

That and legal mandates might actually go through (they say they are set but they always loophole it).  Things that are making it crawl are crappy towers by the major networks.   I live in Los Angeles, where I think TV would be king but the only channel that comes in OTA with any real quality is public TV - KCET has to constantly ask for money but DANG there picture looks GREAT.  Maybe ABC, CBS, NBC, and the others should have telethons as well so they can raise enough money to fix their broken down ol' equipment!   I'm stoked more shows are available in HD than before but they don't seem to be in any great rush. <br><br>Frankly I'd rather buy most shows on DVD than on TV so I don't have 1/4 of my screen filled by a giant moving FOX or SPIKETV logo.  I actually turned on the TV to watch a show, not see some logo.  The commercials are annoying but understandable - frankly the logos have me boggled - am I going to buy more SPIKETV - what are they selling?   OH, I'd never turn the clicker to SpikeTV channel unless they advertised and blocked out the bottom right quadrant of my TV - mmm - the show is much more enjoyable now!   Tell kids that when you were growing up you didn't have those HUGE channel identifiers and they won't believe you!  How primitive - how could you watch TV like that grandpa?<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[boe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2006 3:15AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
