Ok,
I just bought a new house and I'm not ready to upgrade my silly 27" TV for something bigger, maybe around 36". Also, I need to either get Cable or DSS. So at first I was thinking go for the a nice HDTV, but then my friend got one and damn the picture really isn't that great, sure with a DVD it looked pretty good, but with regular DSS it's really not very good and that's with Directtv hooked up through S-video. So what should I do to get the best picture right now, today? HDTV or Analog.... If I get a HDTV ready tv do I need a progressive scan DVD or will the TV's onboard line doubler be sufficient. Should I go with cable or DSS? Should I get a HDTV tuner or should I get Directtv HDTV service (looks pretty expensive)????? My budget is around $2500, and I wouldn't want to spend more than $85 a month on any services. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks...
