The bad is that SD programming doesn't look so good on widescreen sets,
and content on HD is much less than on SD.

===============================
This is just not true!
On my Pioneer 710 HD RPTV (5 years old),
ALL SD stations OTA are superior to the picture on my
older Pioneer SD RPTV.

The key here is the OTA signal.
Cable makes SD look like crap!
Don't blame it on the TVs.

You can get all the HD you want for free with a regular TV antenna. And it
will be better HD than you get from the cable/sat compaines. Many have
been doing it for years. You don't need anything from the cable or sat
companies for HDTV.

==============================
And with an antenna, SD will look much better also.

But then you have another class of people like myself that could careless
about cable or satellite channels and want a 60" TV for the theater feel
while watching DVDs and would gladly buy a non-HDTV if one was available
in 60". I find it amazing that these things cost so much and yet so little
programming is available (at least programming not on the crappy cable
channels). HD was and is a suckers bet. They have everyone convinced it is
so much better yet very little makes good use of it and most HD
programming is 720 besides. I guess the electronics companies, the federal
government in their rush to rake the bucks selling the analog spectrum and
the cable and satellite companies looking to gouge customers more found a
great suckers bet.

==================================
An HD set will even make your DVDs look much better.
SD is dead. Learn to accept that.

Just north of San Francisco. I contacted all of the major stations as was
told they only do 720 and this is the same information I got from sales
people at Sears, Best Buy and Circuit City... not that those sales people
are necessarily in the know. But when many sources tell you that 720 is it
and that only HD DVD does 1080... well you have at some point trust
someone.

Start with not trusting the saled people.
They are very wrong.
