As has been said b4, and will probably need to be said a million times more
b4 everyone gets it, there will be set top boxes that will take the incoming
HD signal and downres it for older analog NTSC sets....so noone will HAVE to
buy a new $1000 set...and that is STILL several years off so it wont be
$1000 anymore by then...
