    Anybody where and how much those HD-adapters are for analog TV's?

    I have a sweet big TV and don't want to get HD or plasma but will have to get an adapter somehow.

    Tube tvs are the best quality available at the mo. It's true. But they're limited in how big the screens can be. That's why lcd/plasma/etc are taking over, they can be made to bigger sizes.

    Essentially, tubes rule!

    Don't turn this into a fight against 'the man'. It's not a marketing ploy: HDTV blows regular TV out of the water, and there's a reason it has caught on so fast. I'm sorry, but watching a game on my 42" LCD HDTV with surround sound on, vs. on my old 32" tube TV with the crappy little speakers is a no brainer. It's not a marketing ploy because, well, it's not going away anytime soon and it is completely going to overtake the old technology. You maybe could have called it a ploy 8 years ago when there were like 2-3 models available and only a handful of HDTV channels. We're past that now. Go find a refurbished HDTV for less $$$ and enjoy it.
