I got setup for HDTV just before the big game. Honestly it was coincidence, but it worked out nicely. I’ve had an LCD HDTV for a while, and a projector capable of HD for a long time. DirecTV made me a good offer, and I went for it. So far…

The HD-Tivo is great. I already miss the MRV feature that we’re able to add to the other DTivos, but I can get by. PTVupgrade came through as always with the excellent PTVnet software. Within hours of the DTV installer leaving I had 200 gigs more storage, and full network to my Tivo. I can’t stress enough how awesome PTVupgrade is.

HD is amazing. Find a home theater buff and ask to check out HD. Stores don’t do it justice. You will be absolutely blown away by the difference between SD and HD. Yes, it’s still TV, but it looks amazing. Not to mention some of the HD content (Discovery HD Theater) is amazing. Cuban, I worship you man, but sometimes it seems like HDNet content is just HD for the sake of being HD. No one in their right mind would watch it if it wasn’t in amazing HD.

I finally built a DIY screen for my projector with some info I collected on AVS Forum. More info on that to come, but so far its something I should have done a long time ago.

OTA (over-the-air) HD is so ridiculous. The amount of time people spend trying to tweak their antenna amuses me. That said, it seems like its worth some time investment.
