About time for HDTV

Jun 27, 2006 in General Discussions

I bought an HDTV-capable plasma TV last Christmas and have been fighting the urge to go full HD until today.

The thought of watching the World Cup in all it’s glory proved too much so I called up Shaw Cable today and scheduled an install for this Thursday.  The HDTV box itself costs $510 CDN w/ taxes but actually includes a $10/month reduction for the next 10 months… better than a kick in the pants.  Plus I’ll get to sample all the HD movie channels for the next month at no cost.

Now let’s see how long Argentina and Brazil last.
