The bad news is soon you will have to replace an electronic gadget in your house, The good news is you will not have to buy yet another copy of the White Album in yet another media. HDTV, not to be confused by ADHD, is a vast improvement on the US television broadcast standard NTSC (Never Twice the Same Color). However, getting used to the high quality is not the problem. Getting used to the presently high price is. The authors, encourage you to read up on the technology a bit, shopping very carefully, and getting what you need to make sure yours is a proper HDTV experience. They describe HDTV channels and programs, getting into DVDs and gaming consoles, and the art of developing and actually enjoying sensory overload. For those of us who still cherish the White Album on LPs, the authors include a bit of nostalgia about the pre-HDTV days as well.
