The Super Bowl, and football in general, are all about change and technical innovation in my mind. (After all, the first SB itself was "only" 43 years ago.) I like all of the upgrades to the broadcast presentations of NFL football in recent years. I will watch and listen to the game on nothing but high-tech equipment, as follows:
Epson Home Cinema 6500UB digital LCD projector with 92" screen
Onkyo TX-SR876 receiver
Self-built Windows 7 Ultimate Media Center home theater DVR computer
Video is HDMI 1080p
Audio is HDMI Dolby Digital 5.1
Signal source is FREE over-the-air from a roof antenna (OK, that is not high-tech!)
This system has fantastic picture and sound, better than I ever thought I would have in my home even ten years ago.
(Now, baseball would be different. I still hate the stupid "designated hitter" idea in the American League, and think watching a game at night in a lit stadium is weird. Chicago's Wrigley Field is normal baseball to me, though I know they put lights in there too, a while back. It might be fun to watch a baseball game on one of my roundie color TVs, except I don't even like major-league baseball anymore since they never did anything about all of the drug problems.)
