Recently TV’s have got wider and thinner and some would even say… ’sexier’, but have they got any better?

Sure, the latest trend is HDTV (High Definition TeleVision), promising stunning picture quality, but at a much higher price than regular CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Televisions.

Buzz words like plasma, rear projection and LCD will roll off the salesman’s tongue as you walk into your local electrical store, before being asked to choose from a variety of screen sizes, shapes and brands. It’s enough to make you give up before you even start looking!

HDTV owners are faced with a very real challenge when it comes to figuring out what to watch on their new High Def sets. After all, with only a handful of HDTV channels available from most service providers and the fact that the high def DVD format war is still very much undecided (though a lot of indications point towards Sony’s Blu-ray format coming out on top), it can be pretty difficult to figure out where to get a decent amount of high def programming. At least it’s a lot better than it was a few years ago before high def DVD’s were available at all, and HDTV channels were even more limited!
