Note: I'm giving this the notthisnext tag... I can't recommend it right now.

I bought the Samsung 46" 1080p LCD a couple of weeks ago and I was of course very depressed after getting it that I had no HD signals coming into the TV. Without HD signals coming in your HDTV is a Ferrari you can only drive up and down your driveway.

So, I dropped a couple of hundred bucks on a Direct TV HD setup. HDNET and HDNET MOVIES is amazing, and so are the local channels, but there only seem to be about 10 channels of HD, and even the HD channels that are there are always showing non-HD programming.

Frankly, I'm really disaapointed with the amount of HD programming... it's lame. However, when something good comes on it is amazing.

ironically, it's the local signals that have the most HD programming... when the fall season starts I guess it will be a lot better.

I heard Direct TV is gonna put up some more birds so they can increase the amount of HD channels.... also, i hear DirectTV is 1000% better than cable for HD because calbe compresses the signal and Direct TV doesn't. anyone know about that?
