And BTW, since you are receiving a pretty clean signal (being where you are), buying a good HDTV receiver will move your pleasure up another notch.

No, not to watch the HDTV programming (same story as the SACD as of now - nothing to watch), but to see the regular programming at a much improved quality level. You will not believe the improvement that a good HDTV receiver will provide on the normal NTSC signal - much more vibrant colors, better focus, smooth picture - trust me and buy it.

I envy your location, location and location (read: reception, reception, reception), but not your political views.

BYW, apparently the new Toshiba set-tops are coming, should be here soon, and I have high hopes for this one. It THIS doesn't work, I am screwed out of the HDVT, until such day that our local cable starts it.

Steve has been trying to talk me into installing the 7' parabolic antenna on my roof (I don't know, and perhaps don't even have zonning restriction, and the dear are not going to complain to the ground hog).

But the last time I was fooling around with an antenna, it was VERY windy, and I was standing there on the roof top, looking down at the rocks many feet beneath me, with that huge double-boom structure in my hand, moving wildly in the wind, the other hand trying to hold onto something, anything, feeling like a little ant flying away'er and away'er on a dry leaf... the vision of the emergency room stretcher being so vivid in my memory from my last visit there (broken collar bone, and several before that...), that I am not sure I am all that eager to try it again.

Well, you never know...
