is HD really that big of a difference? I could understand not wathcing b/c it was the cards and indians....but not b/c it wasn't HD I find it difficult to watch anything that isn't HD now. I'll still watch my favorite teams in non-HD, but it's a real struggle. Once you go HD, it's all that matters. I'm with you all the way on that, Soul! Once you go HD, SD is just not the same! Think of it along the lines of having High Speed Internet and then having to revert back to dialup... that pretty much sums it up! That is a horrible comparison. I get to watch HD when I go home (my parents have it) but don't mind coming back and watching tv on SD. But I have to deal with slower internet at work (not dialup but not nearly as fast as the internet in my apartment) and it would be horrible to have to use dialup. SD just seems 'fuzzy' to me now when I watch it. I've become accustomed to seeing the details in HD when I watch sporting events... even be it a blade of grass, the knit in the jerseys, sweat beading off the players forehead, etc... You don't get that in 4:3 SD format. And Discovery HD Theater is the bomb when it comes to crystal clear programming!
