Don't get me wrong, I have a 37" Westinghouse LCD panel. I love watching HD programming on a set thats made for it, but i think this forced transition is going to cause alot of confusion. Not to mention the fact that most folks dont know what the difference between ATSC and NTSC in the first place. I've seen more people watching analog TV on an HD set, thinking its HD just because the label on the bezel says it is, than I ever wanted to. And to refine my previous post, I meant that everyone who will be using a coverter box on an older TV will have half of their screen taken up by black bars when watching 16:9 programming, heck, even the local news here is in 16:9 now. If we would just follow the british freeview DVB system and start with 4:3 digital, or simulcasts of both HD and standard format programs in digital, I think it would be a much easier transition.
