`HiJohn & Roger,

Ya, john, as Roger pointed out the Hitachi SDX series are HD ready with progresive scan or line dubbler if you will. I had a 50" Mit. which I lost in a divorce.. It doesn't compare to the new stuff. I dont care what brand it may be if it doesnt have progressive scan, you have to sit a half mile from it before the lines merge together.
I'm sitting about 12 feet from it and it looks like the image is projected. I subscribed to direct tv and ussb two days after they put the box on the market. I'm still using the orig RCA converter box. I also have Webtv which is another of my favorite toys. (what else is there after 25 years of marriage, but to buy toys) Sooner or later Directtv will find some HD programing and the "promised" converter boxes and dish will be on the market.I'll one of the first in line.. If you, John, have some info on calibration let me and Roger know....
