I won the TV last Christmas, but held off getting the extra HD satellite receiver for it. Now that fall and winter is coming on again and now that they had a fairly decent package price I had them hook it all up today.
All I can say is WOW
Regular TV on the bigger screen wasn't that great. DVD was nice, but HD just blows them all out of the water. I literally have to say that I can't believe the picture quality and this isn't even a top of the line HDTV. It really shows off what that new TV was designed for. Now I wish for even more HD programming!
The receiver has a built in PVR too. I wasn't going to get that, but since I seldom have time to watch anything when it is actually on I figured I'd get the full meal deal and be done with it. That will be sweet. 180 hours of SDTV, 25 hours of HDTV and it can record two other programs while playing one. I think I know what I'll be doing all winter.
Good bye to that boring gym!
