The problem ultimately lies with that fact that each model year looks significantly better than the previous year.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kcjones]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2007 3:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Its always now.

Their current TV is approaching 20 years old, and still has quite a nice picture connected to their TiVo, so it will probably die within the next couple of years.<br><br>I got an HDTV for myself four years ago. I finally got a TiVo HD two months ago, after living with my old Tivo for seven years.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[William C Bonner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2007 4:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think it has less to do with the money and more to do with the content.  Up until very recently there was very little "real" HD content out there. And what I mean about "real" HD content is first run popular shows, not syndicated reruns.<br><br>This is one of those chicken and the egg things.  People don't want to buy an HD TV until there is content and content providers don't want to switch until there is an audience. Why do you think the FCC put a hard date out there in the first place.  They knew if they didn't we would still have almost NO HD content.<br><br>Recently I feel we have turned a corner. DirectTV is leading the charge and providers are actively moving to provide content.  Dish is moving to catch up and like always the cable companies will be the last to move.<br><br>- Roger<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[roger_huston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2007 4:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Pretty much all prime time shows are in HD, and has been for over a year now, maybe longer, but I only had my tuner stick for about a year.

Video games look freakin' awesome, as do HD DVD and Blu-ray movies.  So even if you're not a big TV watcher like me, there are other reasons to take the plunge.  Just find yourself a good deal and do it already.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Patrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2007 6:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[“not much on tv in hd yet.”<br><br>What are you talking about?<br><br>Virtually all the network prime time shows are in HD<br>All NFL games are in HD<br>Every MLB game (except for the O’s (Die Angelos, DIE!) and the Royals)<br>Discovery, History, TLC, HBO, Showtime and lots of movies.<br><br>There’s so much HD content on Direct TV (though it is heavily compressed) that I hardly watch SD content anymore.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ElTiante]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2007 7:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[IMO there is no reason to wait.<br>Yes every station or program isn't HD but you're missing some fantastic programs now.<br>If you wait as stated there will always be better sets each year.<br>You also don't get to enjoy HDM.<br>Yes my purchase of last year is much cheaper currently but I've basked in HD glory all year.<br>BTW this my second and I'm ready to upgrade again, maybe next yr.:)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Derrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2007 8:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree don't wait to replace an older unit.  My parents have a 3 year old 55in Hitachi it's 4:3 in my opinion they should wait until the switch over to buy a 16:9 hdtv because right now our cable company only sends ABC, CBS, NBC in hd nothing else available.  SAT is out due to neighborhood rules.  I have a 32in sammy that I replaced my 10 year old 32in crt.  I'm able to watch 3 HD channels mentioned above, but most of the time I'm watching non-hd because of the lack of content.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cory]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 12th 2007 9:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[when someone complains about the lack of HD content. I always tell them to look at the top 30 shows on the Nielsen Ratings and check which shows are in HD.  It normally turns out that about 20-25 of the top 30 shows are in HD.  Hey, its their loss, I've owned an HDTV for the last 5 years.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kcjones]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 12th 2007 4:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Totally agree with this post! I'm actually on my third HDTV. The new models always look so much better than what I have! Why would I suffer with less PQ than I deserve? Anyway, that's what I tell my parents when they ask me why I keep buying TVs instead of using my money to move out of their house.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2007 5:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/11/when-to-buy-an-hdtv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Everybody...<br><br>When you people talk about HD are talking Full HD (1080p) or HD Ready(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[notung]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2007 3:28PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
