Ding! If I have a favorite movie or TV show I desire to see in HD, I just buy or rent the Bluray disc. For over-the-air television, I don't care if it's only DVD quality so long as I can later acquire it on HD Disc. (Examples: Star Trek TOS or Heroes)

I agree with your conclusion, but aren't you exaggerating just a little bit? Since June 12, I have been watching THIS movie channel, RetroTV, Global, Megahertz, and a syndicated subchannel (reruns). I'd say the percentage dropped from 90% "nothing to watch" to around 30%. My time is filled much more easily.

If you disagree then I respectfully suggest selling your DTV converter boxes and antennas, putting the money in the bank, and then getting a nice Internet connection which will let you watch any program you desire at any time. You can even pre-download shows while you're at work, and then watch them when you get home.
