Until we get a la carte channels, I will continue to receive what I want OTA. I cut off my cable 4 years ago and refuse to give them another dime until I get a choice. I only want 4 or 5 channels on cable anyway. Anyone complaining here should vote with their wallet like I have.

Though I didn't catch the Netflix stream yesterday, I did watch it in blu-ray this week and it looked fantastic for being as old as it is. Watching old films on blu-ray is just awesome, it makes me want to re-watch every old movie again.

Yeah I have a house so 12' away is just the way it goes. Obviously I would like a larger screen but just didn't have the budget for a bigger one at the time I purchased it.

I still can't see a difference between 720p and 1080p on a 50" tv from 12 feet away, and I don't think I ever will. Contrast and color makes all the difference, unless I'm sitting up close or I have a huge screen 1080p just can't be seen.

I'll have to watch a 3D show without glasses to decide how much I want it. As of now there's no way I'm sitting in front of the tv wearing glasses.

Uh dude just run a separate digital audio cable from your cable box or dvd/blu-ray player straight to the receiver. Running it through your tv probably switches the audio to stereo.

These are the only systems I recommend to people wanting to spend less than $400-600 on the entire thing. It's just so much better than the Panasonic/Sony/Pioneer HTiB's out there because of the front speakers and subwoofer. However over that price you can probably do better by piecing something together on your own.

And I, for one, welcome our new Panasonic overlords
