[CBFF] NBR - HDTV Question

[Steve Behrens]

What I think I know:

1)  Check your manual for proper ventalation requirements (insightful, eh?)

2) 720 is all that is broadcast (cable or dish).  You'll only be able to use
1080 when viewing High Def DVD's, and only then if you have a Hi Def DVD
player.

3)  I've heard (second hand, because I only have a 720) that because of the
720 broadcasts, the 720 sets actually display a slightly better picture
quality in that format.  And since I have a 720, I decided not to ask anyone
else for opinions, since I felt really good about that one.

Good luck.
