    Holy hell! 3net's gone!!!

    Looks like I left out some "not". 3d is not for everyone. The thought one would junk you present TV just to get it would be foolish so they should have planned on a slower acceptance period especially in a sluggish economy. This what I was trying to say.

    Holy hell! 3net's gone!!!

    Actually the voom analogy is quite good. Unfortunately it is good because I got it late, liked it only to have it pulled out from me with few choices. Voom had its own programming and it was quite good but it got stale. It was ahead of its time. 3d tv is not just a gimmick this time around...

    Netflix.....Both

    Netflix & Blockbuster Netflix you enroll for HDDVD and/or BR. When you do you get an option to have preference for the HD DVD or BR disk over std DVD. I like this feature as I would prefer to get the the high def version if available. It also means I don't have to do a lot of searching to see...
