[SEL] OT ....DVD

[Paul Pavlinovich]

Thanks Bob. Good to know that there is the beginnings of some sense 
here!! I'll probably stick with my SD players until the prices on the HD 
players are a little more realistic.

Out of the Aussies on this list - who knows that Analog TV is being 
progressively turned off from the end of 2008 and finishing in 2011? You 
don't need to shell out for a new TV - just get yourself a digital set 
top box. These range from $30 to as much as you care to pay. If you want 
to look at the new HD channels then you will either need a box that can 
down convert from HD to SD or you need a new TV. The HD channels mostly 
run the same programs but not always.

Just another quickie... unrelated to TV - who knows that CDMA telephones 
are being turned off at the end of this month in this country?

Regards
Paul
