    mark the date on your calendars, it's the day we finally play catchup to Europe as far as digital tv is concerned............

    those of us with current gaming systems (360, Wii, PS3) should be able to enjoy the functionality of the system as a digital box in comparison to Tivo

    should be fun

    It should, the world doesn't end until Dec 21 2012.


    And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
    With all of its misery and wretched lies
    If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
    The Big Machine will just move on
    Still we cling afraid we'll fall
    Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

    More of the reason to trust them, right?

    I mean why not? that logic works for the government. It MUST be reality!

    And those of us who've been happy with our TV purchases made before 2003 will be laying down big bucks for plasma flat screen digitals, giving the economy the boost that the Fed hasn't been able to with the current housing and mortgage crisis.

    (Watch for the tonnage of TVs to be dumped, with only a small portion properly recycled.)

    I am still using a TV from the early 1990's, and see no need for some digital upgrade. I'm fine with TV as it is.

    Won't help the economy much, either.....just some corporations and the chinese manufacturors.

    Gotta love the idea that this digital stuff is gonna be shoved down your thorat, if you want it or not.



    Burninating the country side, burninating the peasants. Burninating all the people in their thatched roof cottages....THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!!!!

    Well, Trogdor, it's either a digital TV upgrade or a converter box for you, my friend. It's all a scam to pump consumer dollars into the marketplace and free up frequencies for cellphone use so we can have more idiots driving while texting on our highways and byways.

    Anybody here remember rabbit ears? Three channels? UHF being the big noise?

    ohhh yes! My Bang & Olafson bought in 1984 works just fine. It's still hooked up to the Panasonic Video I bought in 1990. Never had anything go wrong with either. And for time shift TV pure and simple, video beats all else hands down.

    Thanks for the info on set top boxes for digi TV. They don't market those here in Europe at all for fear of jeapardising digi TV sales.
