And let me tell you: HD and theater sound add absolutely ZERO to the
enjoyment of watching Barney on How I Met Your Mother.

And, consider that most people want appliances in their lives. They
don't want a $500 remote control that they have to program so they can
try to remember which button to hit to make all five components come on
and switch appropriately so the wife can watch the weather channel to
see if the kids are going to school tomorrow.

The involved home theater should really be a dedicated home theater,
used for when you want to watch movies in a theater-like environment.
The home should also have just TVs available for just watching TV.

It's when you try to have everything in one that it all falls apart.
