Couldn't agree more. I have my 1980 XL-100 connected to digital cable, and thats above and beyond my needs. I really don't watch much tv, I could suffice with antenna and NTSC forever. (the parents pay my cable bill since its included with the other boxes.)
Wanna have a good laugh on my family? I told my mother to cancel my DTV box once, and she said No, keep it, why wouldn't you want it?
Well i really don't use it. Only for occasional on-demand movies, cable news, and TBS. Everything else is network TV.
But yeah, One family I know recently spent about 3 thousand dollars on a huge Sony LCD set. When we set it up, the first thing I suggested was to turn down the backlight setting from 10 (stock) to 6-7, since there was absolutely no difference in brightness either way. Maybe this was due to the contrast being 100%. Anyway he said he didn't care how long it lasts, just wants to make it look good. Enough said.
