Not really old info... Very real though. The HDTV will be adapted to our TV's so that...WOW! We don't need to buy new TV's. The caveat is that our televisions must contain the proper circuitry to recieve the HDTV adapter. And that is...The TV monitor. If one does not have the TV monitor then technology has lots in store for the one with the bucks. Right now the HDTV is priced out of the market (IMO). I would wait. Keep the cable transmission coming for now and wait for satellites to beam that hot new digital signal. Note; not really new here either. Just latest, greatest stuff. Iridium, Globalstar and Teledesic satellite technology. Watch em! Best wishes
