HDTV!

I'm so spoiled....

Dick bought a HDTV tuner card and installed it into our Media Center PC today. We also got a HDTV antenna and 1 GB RAM.

The installation of the new tuner card and RAM went smoothly. I think it's so cool to open up a computer and look at all of its guts. Dick is a pro at all of this stuff, so it took no time at all.

So far, the new HDTV tuner card is way cool. We get about 10 local station in HD now - most of the major networks. The picture is just outstanding! We also get the benefit of two tuner cards, so we can record two programs at the same time! That's huge - we used to be able to do that when we had Ultimate TV at the old house, and I really missed having two tuners. Now we can have one program recorded in HD (which we could never do at the old house) and the other in standard broadcast.

Now Dick is an HDTV nut. He keeps going through the program guide, just looking for programs that are broadcast in HD. It looks like I may have to sit through a lot more college and pro football now (roll of eyes).
