HD is so cool, we all get very frustrated at the prices, delays, screw-ups and potential pitfalls - Betamax, anyone? How many of us really feel sorry for the corproate giants whose chief concern is not selling HD movie content to us but down rezing our HD pictures so pirates can't copy HD boradcasts? A pox on 'em.

You should be OK anyway - direct view sets, even 16:9 ones don't display full 1080i. You have a beautiful detailed picture true, but I believe you have to get up to 38-40" before a display is full 1080i capable. The point is, your set looks good NOW with less than full 1080i HD, and will continue to do so. It's the people with the larger sets who will be more affected by any down rezing...and as I said before, I think there will probably be a "black box" fix for early HD adapters, all 4 million of them.

Enjoy that Sony. Cheers!
