Only half analog now


Well we did it, last Saturday we took the plunge into the world of HDTV. Kenny has wanted a HD LCD for a while (really who doesn't) but we finally found the set we wanted at a price that will work. We really debated about the size of the screen but in the end went with a 40 inch which actually fits perfectly in the living room, anything else would have been too big. We decided to spend the money on a quality set rather than a huge set would look out of place. I am really enjoying the picture and we even upgraded to the HD package with our cable company and as part of that now we get every channel on our provider and it only cost about $10 more a month because some of the services that we were paying for a la carte are now included.
Ok so know we have an HD Tv and an HD Cable picture, now we need a HD DVD player right? Yup, last night Kenny killed two birds with one stone and bought the Playstation 3 which has a HD Blu ray disc player built right in to it (Of course to get everthing to work in HD you have to spend an extra $120 on an HDMI cable).
So with all this HD how come we are still half analog? Well I still get stuck with an old tv in the bedroom. I saw a great 32 inch HD LCD last night that will go great on the bedroom wall but alas I will have to wait and save up for one in the bedroom. Till then I will remain analog.
