Maybe some day when the US finally gets it's s**t together, I'll try HDTV. My guess is that by 2010, it'll be somewhat "standard".
That's something I haven't been too sure about. Do you have digital TV free to air at all? Most of our stations are now available in digital, but not High Definition. Only some shows are HD and my experiments with it in myth, with the DVB card, show you need a fast system to cope. My 2.2GHz machine can't handle 1080 res, the sound gets all stuttery. All the stuff I record is Standard Definition, still way better than analogue TV, even if only because of the 16:9 aspect ratio of most/all of the newer stuff. Then there's pay tv. Our major cable network went digital just recently, although, my first experience with it was via satellite (no cables near my place) and that was always digital. I gave up on pay tv. I've had it hooked up twice, but dropped it later each time as they do NOT have enough new shows, especially movies, despite what their ads say :-) Too damn expensive as well. That's one of the good things about Myth. I am never short of something interesting to watch now, and it's ALL FREE.
