Nice price on that Sony.I agree with your position on sticking with a 4:3 Tube for now. The conversion price of moving up to HDTV is still too expensive unless one has a lot of disposable income. I'm struggling with this decision right now and every time I run the cost comparison, common sense says "Just get another 4:3 analog tube". Analog tube TVs are almost always "Plug'N'Play" whereas digital sets are much more finicky. A top of the line Sony analog tube looks terrific when fed a good clean signal such as from DirecTV. Besides, now is not the time to go HDTV through DirecTV because they need to get the third satellite launched this year (first two are successful so far) and then they need to issue new receivers and possibly new dishes when they changeover to Mpeg-4 compression. Doesn't make sense to buy a DirecTV HD receiver right now when it will probably become obsolete in < 12 months.
