Confirmed: HDTV Isn't About Resolution
Techies oooh and aaah about HDTV picture quality. The general public couldn't care less.
Ask a typical person to compare HDTV to Comcast cable, and they'll tell you that HDTV is much, much better.
It's not the resolution that matters though. It's the fact that HDTV is digital.
Ask a typical person to compare HDTV to Dish Network, and they'll see a difference. But they wont' care. Would you pay $1,000 to upgrade your set to HDTV then pay Dish Network an extra fee every month? No way.
Why not? Because Dish Network is already digital. It has always been digital. I've had Dish Network for 10 years. I've had the benefit of HDTV for 10 years. Without spending any money on HDTV.
