I am hardly an expert

When it comes to matters such as these below, But I am most certainly excited about the first one and so so excited about the second:


ATI TV Wonder™ HD 650 Combo USB for PC

I am so jazzed about this setup, I can't begin to tell you. Well, Ok, I could begin, but I would just bore you with technical jargon and your eyes would glaze over and you would hate me the rest of your life, so I shant.

US Consumers Finally Starting To Accept HDTVs Into Their Lives
April 5, 2008 – 5:38 am, posted by Shannon

"There is a bit of a strange phenomenon taking place right now when it comes to HDTV. According to a recent survey conducted by ABI Research, 41% of television owners have at least one HDTV in their house. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as the HDTV technology is clearly superior to non-HDTV televisions. The strange part is that only 56% of people with an HDTV are subscribing to HD programming packages.

Perhaps this isn’t as strange as it seems on the surface. The general assumption about people purchasing HDTVs is that they really value their television watching experience and, therefore, want the best type of television in their homes. Under this line of thinking, it only makes sense that they would also have HDTV programming. In reality, however, it seems that many people are just deciding to upgrade to the HDTV in preparation for the switchover to digital or perhaps they just want to purchase the better television options when shopping for a new television. Another possibility is that some of the buyers didn’t realize they needed to obtain HDTV programming in order to enjoy their HDTV.

All-in-all, the people at ABI Research have concluded that the overall interest in HDTV is finally rising in the United States. This is a switch in the trend, as previous years showed that US consumers had actually been losing interest in HDTVs. Other countries, such as South Korea and France, on the other hand, had been showing steadily increasing interest in HDTVs over the past few years.

A survey conducted by the Consumer Electronics Association also showed that consumers were becoming increasingly interested in HDTVs. In fact, when parents were polled on the their top holiday gift wishes, their first choice was “peace and happiness,” their second choice was for a computer and their third choice was for a big screen TV. Obviously, a big screen television doesn’t actually have to be an HDTV, but the two generally do go hand in hand. It’s good to see that American consumers are finally coming around!"

Then on the same website there is this:

"Over-the-air (OTA) HDTV is a big hit these days. High definition television is one on those rare services that comes in the highest quality when it is free of charge. You can watch amazing 1080i resolution broadcasts over the air for free, and get better quality for the same channels than through a paid satellite DTV subscription. All you need is a high definition TV set with a built-in HDTV tuner and an off-air HDTV antenna."
