Like a previous poster, I am an vinyl audio guy who's not into home theater, but wants the best picture possible for TV and movies.The question is, which source? I am told Dish network has the most HDTV, though Direct TV also has it. I'm also told that the HD format is about to change? Does this mean that all boxes bought now are to be obsolete in no time?
I live in Northern California, if that matters. Could someone share some thoughts on the best equipment investment right now - for picture quality and quantity of HD programming?
Oh, and I need my local channels.
Thanks!

I bought the Panasonic TUHDS20 with DirecTV and over air. I haven't had time to install the new dish required (oval) but I have watched over air extensively and man it's great!The absolute best is the PBSnet. Really high quality better than any DVD- but no programming per se, just demos- but they are watchable. The networks offer some programming- in order of hours: CBS, ABC, FOX and UPN and I think NBC dead last with maybe two shows.
Watching CSI is terrific. The panoramic views of Vegas at the opening are something to behold.
As far as the format changing, I have heard but am not up to date.
