Don't you have to pay extra for HD channels? Hell with that crap, picture I have now is good enough for me. This whole hd craze is intellectually- disabled.

I pay extra for my HD channels. It's an incredible difference. But yeah, unless you have the USA HD Channel you won't really see a different. If anything colors might be a little more vibrant than before |

HD rules. I watch sports only in HD now. It is so nice. I can't wait to see WWE in HD. Comcast in the Bay Area has both USA and The CW in HD. We just need Sci-Fi in HD to have the trifecta.

I usually watch Raw in the basement where my dad's HDTV is. Unfortunatly for us, the Score isn't in HD yet for Starchoice.

I pay extra for my HD channels. It's an incredible difference. But yeah, unless you have the USA HD Channel you won't really see a different. If anything colors might be a little more vibrant than before that's exactly it. I just read an article in a digital magazine that did tests and the concluded that with all the new HD channels, it is making the standard signal a bit stronger. So you wouldn't notice a huge clarity difference (like HD), but there is brighter colours and clarity. |

For Time Warner Cable owners, if you already upgraded to DTV, all you need to do is change the regular DTV set top box to an HD box. The box, along with the HD channels, are free. Can't wait to get my new HDTV in a couple of months. Watching HD sports on a 15" 4:3 aspect ratio TV is really straining on the eyes. |

It worries me how uninformed people are on high-definition. This is the digital age, people. I'm not saying you have to learn how exactly how an HD broadcast works; but some people don't even know that it's two separate channels? Others (in other topics) think WWE would stop broadcasting in standard-definition...just learn the basics, guys.

Is their much difference? I am already getting HD on my 42" LCD TV for 6.99 a month, is it worth the difference?

I would highly recommend getting the HD channels for the sports alone. I watch quite a bit of hockey and starting this past summer, quite a bit of baseball and it really is a huge difference in quality. I could never sit through a ball game before but the picture and sound is just awesome on HD. Shows like CSI, American Idol, and a few of the A&E crime shows broadcast in HD as well and it's well worth it.

This is coming from someone who doesn't know much about HD, so does HD also upgrade the sound as well or just the picture?
And when you record HD, does the picture still look good on standard DVD's?

I'm pretty sure that it's mostly the picture that's affected. I think the reason people believe that it really affects the sound is because you can hear the Quarterback call audibles in football games, but that's mostly because there are tons of microphones pointed at the field.
