Actually, that's not true. The Dish Network also provides HDTV programming, and most major cities broadcast primetime programming OTA (over the air) using the UHF frequecies in HDTV.

As for myself, I bought an HDTV-ready widescreen Mitsubishi WT-46807 because I wanted a good home theater setup. When teamed with my Panasonic RP91 progressive-scan player and my Definitive Technology 5.1 speaker setup, the experience is quite immersive and impressive.
