HDTV

[greerb]

I'm a star choice subsciber and have been looking into geting the DSR505 with the recent price drop to $200 and a $50 PPV credit it looks tempting. I do have a HDTV ready TV and am wondering if HDTV contend is worth spending the extra money on a new reciever? With the upcoming NHL season I'm hoping that Sportsnet will air a few HD games.

Yes, HD is a little slice of heaven, especially hockey

Think of it this way- you spent a couple of thousand dollars on an HDTV, and now you want to know if you should spend another $200 to be able to see what sets your $3000 TV apart from a $1000 TV.

Getting an HD receiver was a no brainer for me, and my TV isn't even HD.

To put it another way, I hate baseball, but I have watched several games because they were in HD. The picture quality; the Dolby Digital sound................

To put it yet another way- GET OFF YOUR WALLET!

Bell's is $599 with a $50 credit. It has two tuners, so you can watch two seperate channels on two TVs, I believe. Not promoting anything, just an option.

^ 2 tuners means you can record one show and watch another which is a handy feature. I think you might be able to record 2 shows that are on simaultaneously as well.

Seriously - are you guys all single? Just wondering....

Lol, my wife actually got that LCD TV, not me (believe it or not).

There is NOTHIGN like High Def. Football in High def is AWESOME.

I have yet to see a hockey game in high-def, and by the sounds of it, it may be a while.

No,

But i do spend more on Electronics than I do on my GF. Maybe when we hit the 1 year mark that might change, maybe a vacation to California TO SEE THE ELECTRONICS EXPO HHAHAHAHHA - nahhh.

Yes, we all know, once you are maried its all down hill so you might as well buy all the cool shinguard now before you have to spend money on linen.
