Looks like we may have lost you Johnny. I'm watching the Godfather on Bravo. It is my favorite movie and although I have the set on tape, I still watch it when it's on TV.

Johnny be VERY careful about screen burn on a new plasma (if yours is new). When the picture goes from widescreen to 4:3 (ie commercials) you get sidebars. Too many times with this and you "could" get screen burn. I bought a Samsung plasma from Best Buy (Bloomingdale store) in September. They hooked it up and all, and fried my TV. Called em for help and they said too bad, screen burn is not covered. Lost $1,600. Would not want to see this happen to anyone else.

Yep, I have Comcast and Bravo is not HD yet, but they have added several HD channels lately. Still cable is to much $$ for what you get, IMO.

I share your pain.....I have been tempted to take it out front of Best Buy and stick a sledge hammer through the screen - would make a good YOU TUBE video.

My parents have a 42" TV that I helped them shop for that is an LCD HDTV, and we have Dish Network, and the DVR/HDTV receiver is awesome, and so it the picture. I just love watching the Discovery Channel-it's amazing what a difference a TV can make when watching some of that programming.

50" Panasonic DLP with Comcast HD here.

Digital basic is included in my townhouse association dues, so I only have to pay the difference between that ($50) and whatever else I want.
