Ok, I am expecting direct tv to be bringing my HD receiver anytime. So I have a few questions. I have the Sanyo 42inch vizon plasma (specs below) and I was wondering about some questions that I have.
1. Will I notice a big difference on the HD channels when viewing them since this tv is 720p 2. Is my tv by looking at the specs true HD and how do I tell this?
3. Would I notice a big differnce with my tv verses a 1080i tv?
4. Do you think this is a good time that I should get HD with direct since they will have 100 channels by the end of the year or am I wasting my time with HD with the tv that I own?
Thanks for all your input and suggestions. Here are my tv specs.
