I had the same dilemma regarding whether or not to purchase a widescreen TV when most of my viewing was non-DVD fare. I went with a HTDV 36" with a conventional 4:3 screen. The black bars on movies just don't bother me like they do some folks so that wasn't an issue. If you're used to watching a standard interlaced display (is that right Steve?) going to HDTV will be a big step up. No scan lines, even on a large screen. If you still opt for a 16:9 display, check out the 34" Panasonics or Toshibas. As for the HDTV tuner, I've spoken to my cable company and when they start regular Hi-Def broadcasting, they will rent a tuner for about $10/mo. Maybe that would be an option over purchasing your own.
