I think ISP should start thinking real someday. Thank god they still do in sweden (most of them atleast). The numbers of ISP's having limits for the internet connection is just silly. Users should be allowed to use the bandwith they pay for as they feel like.
Also HDTV... is it just me not feeling THAT excited about it?

I take it you've never watched an HDTV broadcast. The difference it makes in sports is absolutely unbelievable.

HDTV recievers are expensive

Most of the time if you buy a new HDTV from Best Buy/Futureshop Rogers' or Bell will throw in a free receiver rental ... although Roger's only charges $10 month to rent one ($300 to buy) or $20 for the PVR version ($600 to buy)...
I'm still waiting for the right sale to buy a new TV ... (been waiting for like 6 months now)...

If it works with normal channels too then I'd get it. I only got one tv in the house and having two boxes sorts fucks me up

I think its just you. If you have every watched a sporting event in HD like Nouse said you will be completely blown away. Hockey looks amazing. And discovery channel HD is so, sooooooo much better looking. I have a copy of Constantine in HD, and even the WB intro looks 10 times better than on the DVD.
And for consoles. Amped 2 for Xbox in 720p looks almost as good, if not as good as Amped 3 for Xbox360.
Now I just need a new projector to do 1080p instead of just 1080i.

HDTV looks really great compared to PAL or NTSC resolutions. I watch all my favorite shows in 720p, too bad my tv can't handle 1080i or 1080p, but it still looks great.

Holy shit! recievers have gone down in price. I think is was year and half ago it was over $1000 with shaw.
What type of TV do you want to get? Future shop might have a Boxing day sale but who wants to shop on boxing day.
I still have the 52 inch. The guy that was going to move out decided that he needed more then $100/month spending money since he spends that in one night at the bar.
