Slightly off topic - I've been reading these articles about digital televisions and HDTV. Obviously, there will be set-top boxes capable of converting the digital signals to analog for those of us who can't or won't buy a digital TV. Will the analog signal be of higher resolution than today's analog broadcasts? Even if it isn't full HDTV resolution, something is better than nothing. I have a 50-inch rear projection, and switching over from a DVD movie to broadcast television is always a letdown. If I were to subscribe to ACTV, would I get an enhanced viewing experience with my current setup (50" rear projection w/ 6-channel digital surround sound)? If so, it'd be worth $19.95/month even without interactivity. Can I get enhanced resolution just by switching to a satellite provider? If I do switch to satellite (DirectTV, for example), will I still be able to subscribe to ACTV (when and if it becomes available), or will I still need to subscribe to a cable service?
