Why AREN'T you watching HD or DON'T have/care for HDTV?
Subject came up tonight, most of my family/friends just simply don't care for it, nothing to do with price, quality...just simply think it's unnecessary! LOL

Just got me a 360 and was looking at some of the HD movies out there. I want Batman Begins so bad, also V for Vendetta and Serenity are great movies as well. However I'm too poor for the HD attachment and for a HD T.V. For now I'll have to play on my LCD monitor until I can afford a HD TV. Thankfully they seem to be coming down in price pretty quickly.

I have an HDTV, but mainly for my 360. But for tv, i dont watch enough to warrant getting Bells HD receiver - so just have the SD one. I dont care...because it would be a waste of money for me.

Bought a new HDTV LCD from Future Shop recently .. finally got the free included Rogers starter kit and signed up for the free 10 months of HD programming w/ HD PVR rental (requires basic digital cable). Now waiting for my HD PVR to arrive in the mail .. i'm finally moving to high definition!

Because I don't care to pay that much extra for a marginal improvement in image quality.

I want real HD programming first on cable/satellite.
For some HD stuff, might as well, spend on a little antenna and get those.
Plus, got a RCA 52" Projection from back in the days, it works perfect. so why change it! Reply With Quote

I use to be a anti HD person myself until i got it. I only watch 500 and up (HD channels) now. Reply With Quote

The programming still sucks. At least if we had some movie channels...
The only HD channels worth watching is like Discovery and that's it.
I have Rogers HD but I rarely watch the channels._______________

the reason why i am still sticking with my CRT is becos the one that I am using still works fine..... money issue is another thing. Sooner or later, everyone will use HDTV, it takes time .

I have that channel, but I'm talking about normal programming in HD. Like I want CP24 in HD, I want CSI in HD; stuff like that. Originally Posted by hightechfan
