Re: Talk me out of spending a lot of $ on HDTV
check out avs forum and look in the "Display Devices" category.
My recommendation is to get a digital projector. [censored] 57 inches, how about an 80-100" diagonal? No screen required if you have a light colored wall. Way cheaper than plasma, but looks as good (great color and *very* clear)...and *HUGE*. The room will need to have blinds for daytime, but you will be watching tv that is five feet high, seven feet across. Don't bother with rear projection.

Supposedly Charter's DVR w/ Moxi is not bad even compared to tivo. So I've heard. And it does have dual tuners. At least the standard def one does. Though I just looked at Charter's lineup for my area and it seems they have HD Fox, NBC, CBS, but not ABC? WTF?

Re: Talk me out of spending a lot of $ on HDTV
It's 4 months later and I sometimes just watch TV cause I like how pretty HDTV is. Have a 55" Samsung DLP and LOVE it. It's so sexy and definately makes TV worth watching. Especially sports.

Re: Talk me out of spending a lot of $ on HDTV
I bought my 51 inch Hitach HDTV last year. Can't imagine watching analog or tv on a smaller screen. Sports and movies really shine.
