Opinion and Analysis

For that much money, you’d better love your TV, and in an era of inflation, ever rising petrol prices, food prices and government welfare cutbacks… high definition pay television could well be one thing you might ask yourself if you really need right now.

After all, once you add up your monthly Internet cost, mobile phone cost, landline phone cost, food, clothing, electricity, gas, water, other entertainment costs, school fees, land taxes and mortgage payments or rent, tolls, insurances, car repairs or public transport costs and more…

You definitely need to love television to pay extra for it! :-)

Still... the high definition revolution is moving ahead at full steam, with millions of big, flat screen televisions in Australia set to display more content in HD than ever before.

While it will still be years before every program we watch will be broadcast/webcast/howevercast/downloaded in HD... the HD revolution is unstoppable and coming, if only eventually, to a screen near you.
