I was half playing with the idea of getting one myself until I read the following Q&As.
......
If I buy one, will everything I see on it be in high definition?
No. In fact, very little will be, for the time being. Only a small number of channels on Sky’s new HD service transmit full high definition broadcasts. Almost everything else you see, from RTE to ITV to regular BBC programmes, will be in the same standard resolution as you see on an ordinary TV.
So why buy one?
If you’re a big sports or movie fan, there may be enough on offer to make it worthwhile. For example, Sky’s premiership matches are now broadcast in HD, as are lots of their films.....
I don't have SKY sports or movies so why would I waste money buying a set that's not comaptible with my present needs.
Give it another year or two, the price will have come down and the spec will have gone up. (Knowing me, I'll probably find another reason not to buy even then)
