That's why I don't have cable. It tempts me to watch more t.v., and I already waste more than my fair share of time without becoming a tube zombie.

Although it would be cool to see nature shows on HDTV, like Sponger's talking about. I love nature shows(and PBS doesn't have many of them anymore). I'm positive there aren't twice as many people watching them, though, contrary to Sponger's assertion. Not that many people have HDTV yet.

As to prices, I see lots of them advertised in the Sunday papers, and usually for $1k and more, and those are often just "HDTV ready", not HDTV. The ones that are already set to do HDTV can get much more expensive, even for pretty unimpressive screen sizes.

Seems to me you have to like t.v. more than I do to get into this, and be more willing to part with your cash over it, too.

If I had cable, maybe I'd be more tempted.
