.Ok, I officially LOVE my HD TV. I know that sounds goofy but it’s true. You never really know how much standard def sucks till you watch it on an HD TV and see HD right next to it. My new HD cable box/DVR came in on Monday and, while it’s certainly no Tivo, it does have some nifty features. The main one being that I can record 2 things at a time, both HD if I want. This comes in handy as Heroes and 24 are in the same timeslot and both are broadcast in HD. I am also taking advantage of the “new cable box syndrome.” You know how when a new box gets hooked up for the first time, all of the pay channels are active for a short period? Well, HBOHD and ShowtimeHD had some good movies playing so I had the DVR record them. Problem is that they tend to take up quite a bit of space.
One of the things I will miss is the ability to pull things off the Tivo to archive them on my PC. See my PC has a metric crapload of space and the Tivo allowed for transfers. While I still have the Tivo in the bedroom, it’s not the same. Ah well, maybe I can save up and get one of the new Series 3 HD Tivo’s. Right now they are just too much. In the meantime, I am going to need to hit the store sometime this week to stock up for Sunday. This will be the first time I have seen the Superbowl in HD!! Super Sweet!
