HDTV vs color television

[oldtvman]

Understand I,m not disputing the natural progression to Digital television, my point of the thread was that I have lived through the introduction of both, and in my mind there is little comparison between the excitment of seeing color tv for the first time vs seeing digital television, keep in although the picture quality has improved, the program material has not, i still wonder why I spend the money I do to subscribe to directv with 160 channels and nothing on.
