Direct view CRT sets really can't do HDTV...

although they're labeled as such. They can't resolve all the information in a 1080i, 720P, or 1080P signal. They'll show a picture, but it won't have all the detail being broadcast. Direct view can do 480P which is what Fox is broadcasting and what you can get from progressive DVD.

If you only plan to use the set for 3-5 years, however, the above may not matter to you.

Padrekan is probably getting PBS HDTV over the air with an antenna.
