I get the hi def from Comcast cable and it cost just $2 more than what I had which is the next level up from basic (I hardly watch any broadcast TV).

My ISF guy charges $300 a calibration but because I am a friend and his very first customer ten years ago he performed the two hour calibration for the cost of a pizza (lucky me).

I don't think a line doubler is the same as 3/2 pull down (which SONY
calls "cinemotion"). The algorhythm works to eliminate the extra frame added when film is converted to video (film is shot at 24 fps
and video at 30 fps so an extra frame is added to allow the transfer). 3/2 pull down is subtle but makes the experience more "film like".
