A 1080p set CANNOT accept a 1080p signal. It just upconverts everything to that res. This IS going to change though. - true

There are two so far that do however. HP has got a DLP that does, and JVC will have a new LCOS model coming out at the end of the month that is supposed to. We will see this in other sets next year. - true

Cablecard will not give you a guide, VOD, etc. - true

Sets with CableCard WILL NOT except the new CableCard 2.0 next year that will give you all of those things you miss over the 1.0. - true

CableCard 2.0 even will not work when you cable provider switches to MPEG-4. - true

So basically, CableCard is worthless. - true

Cable carries the locals in HD - not always true

Multipath is a real problem for DTV OTA broadcasts. - true more often than not

HD is only broadcast on UHF - not true

In fact, the UHF channels are on loan, when the changeover happens, the stations will have DTV on their regular frequency. Guess what, current ATSC set tops are having real problems tuning DTV on VHF.

Just FYI off the top of my head
