They started hi-def on 11/12-they just replaced my old box with an SA3100HD, hooked it up with component video cables, and voila-HDTV. Only 4 channels to start (NBC,CBS,ABC,PBS) with HBO and Showtime HDTV channels included if you subscribe to those channels. Several other major cable companies have started hi-def (Comcast, Time-Warner), you might want to check to see if it's being offered in your area.You can easily get 5 years (and more) from your current set-my 7 year old Sony still looks pretty good, although a slight geometry problem is somewhat exacerbated (bowing at the bottom left hand corner, a common problem with my model). Cox offering hi-def was the domino that tipped me into buying an HDTV ready set (that, and the fact that ABC is broadcasting the Super Bowl from San Diego in hi-def this year!)
I think you're smart to stay away (at least for now) from DLP-it's an exciting technology, and it will get better, but the reproduction of blacks just isn't there yet, IMO.
