As I mentioned on my show the other night, our house is finally basking in the glow of HDTV! It's truly an amazing experience, viewing high definition television within the comfort of your own home. Every single pixel is painted in happiness, dipped in the stream of media gold. My only issue now is: I don't want to watch regular television. If it's 4:3, it's not for me. If it's less than 1080i, then I'm not your guy. We're now finding ourselves watching snoozer programming only because it looks astounding on the HD screen. How did I ever get along without HDTV? Only one who has walked the path of high definition could answer that question with conviction. The only frustrations I have are beyond everybody's control!
I need more HDTV content – period. Not just movie channels, not just random local programs, not just a few digital cable stations. Even OnDemand doesn't give me high definition access (thanks again, Comcast). For the first time in my life, I'm underwhelmed with the quality of DVDs – they used to look phenomenal on my old televisions. I don't know who's going to win the HD DVD battle (or when), but we're all suffering in the meantime. I also need an HD-capable Windows Media Center that supports digital cable out-of-the-box. Oh, and I need the Xbox 360, too. HDTV all the way from this point forward, man.
