After 2 years owning, I finally hooked up HDTV!!

I started picking up high-end Sony wide CRT WEGA HD sets a couple years ago, and never hooked one up to an HD signal until last night. My wife is sick with the flu, and got self-conscious (stomach, etc), and asked me to go in the guest room last night. I like to watch the news when I wake up until it gets light, and there wasn't a set connected in there. So there sat the KV-34XBR910 on the floor where I had shoved it last year. I decided to put it up on a table (HEAVY HEAVY... Don't tell my doctor I did that with a cast on my left wrist!), and hooked it up to my Samsung HD ATSC box, and a pair of rabbit ears. HOLY COW: I've never seen a picture that good, on any TV anywhere!!!! I had fired it up on our satellite box before to test it, but our satellite is standard def. This picture is incredible, and puts nails in my coffin of dislike for plasma and LCD sets.

Now I'm looking for an excuse to get an HD satellite box, and hook it up with another HD set. I have two of the Sony XBR910 sets, and a 40XBR800; all 1080i HD with HDMI inputs.
