Brett,
Pioneer's Elite series is MUCH better than any analog TV I've seen. But that would've been twice what you paid for the standard series. They are still overpriced for what you get in my opinion, but you do get what you pay for. Oh, and TVs ought to last longer than 13 years, IMO. :)

Robert,
The govt mandate of 2006 hinges on the improbable point of 80% of households in major markets actually owning a HD-capable TV by 2006. Otherwise the switch to all digital broadcasting WILL be postponed.

Jumping in on a thread with crap like this is inflammatory. Don't do it, and don't turn around and accuse someone else of starting the mess.
