As mentioned in my initial post, I am very excited for MSG HD, that being a NY Rangers fan. My wife watches the food network alot so maybe that will make her happy to see the yummy food clearer. Looking at the channel lineup that will go HD, it is not a life changer for me. It is nice to have HD channels.....looking at your equipment you list shows you have some high end toys.....but the quality of programming is what is important to me. The most significant upgrade was having local channels broadcast in HD.....
whereas the new channels being launched is just icing on the cake and also good to show off your equipment that you spent a large amount of $$$ on.
On the other hand, if they had a husbands network that would be a different story....A channel dedicated to teaching us guys how to handle our wives with their distinct disatisfaction of us "wasting time" researching and playing with our tech toys would be great !
