How do you get HDTV on PBS? Your cable company has this capability? The only HDTV I can get is from DirecTV satellite: HBO, Showtime, HDTV network.BTW, I was lusting over the picture on a Zenith 34" HDTV CRT set in Circuit City for $2000. I am still most impressed by CRTs (my brother has gone to a DLP projector, but I don't think that's for me). I calculate the average movie is 4" wider on that set than my 32" Sony. This is kind of minimum to me sitting about 7' back.
Also, I set my TV using "Video Essentials". Do you think I can get 3-5 years of tube life from this set before upgrading? That's kind of the thought here.
