I live so far out in the sticks that we don't (and won't) have cable, I have a roof antenna that picks up ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, PBS, Warner and UPN only (but I get a good picture). We watch a lot of movies, thus why I'm getting HDTV and DVD. Maybe a sat system in the future once I learn about them.

My BIG question, Rich, is what do I lose if I go Toshiba 55H70 HDTV as opposed to Toshiba 40H80? The 55H70 is only $200 more. I don't understand. I'll get horizontal bars but the DVD picture will be the same size as the 40H80. Correct??? Plus, for normal TV for the next three-four years I'll have a decent 55" screen as opposed to a 32" screen from the 40H80 (because of the vertical bars). Will I lose resolution with the DVD? Will I not be able to play some formats I don't know about?

Also, the 55H70 has TWO component video inputs, one for a progressive scan DVD, the other for DTV in the future. To me it seems a no-brainer, so I must not be understanding something.

Thanks for your help Rich. I do appreciate it!
