    HD in the bedroom

    thanks. good idea. i assume i'll have to run same HD programming in both rooms on TV1 and switch to coax fed SD if i want to watch alternate programming on TV2 (which i suspect will be pretty nasty on an HD monitor). one last question: is there any reason to cheap out for a 720p in a bedroom...

    Albuquerque and New Mexico HD
