HDTV sales continue to boom at the retail and custom level to the tune of over 1,000,000 sets per month, according to recent Consumer Electronics Association reports. HDTV is the home theater industry�s �killer application,� providing an outrageously good video experience on TVs that are ultra-thin. The problem is that a DTV (DTVs are TVs that can reproduce HD content but don�t necessarily have tuners built into them) rarely have HD tuners built into them even at the highest price points. Soon, many HDTVs will have cards that will allow consumers to control their satellite or digital cable content right in their sets. However, these cards do not allow for a DVR (digital video recorder like TiVo) which is pretty hard to live without for any TV or home theater enthusiast. This leaves the consumer needing an outboard HDTV DVR to get the most from HDTV and, by today�s standards, that is no small expense.

A Reggae Tribute to Bob Dylan CD What�s this, another gimmick album? A way to invoke Bob Dylan�s iconic name and grab his fans, without having Bob on the recording, or even involving him? And by using the shared name Bob in the title, it is a cheap shot to suck in the Bob Marley fans, yet another commercial disinterment of the reggae prophet? No, on all counts. It�s a rather perfect pairing, actually, of the man who represented in song the powerless and the idealists of the �60s, with the Jamaican vocalists who are all artistic progeny of the man who did the same in the �70s.
