I care.
No-one in their right mind can fail to appreciate the superior picture quality offerred by HD transmissions, when viewed on a decent sized screen.
Like all new and good things we often have to pay for them.
saying HD is a fricky??? Ripoff is complete nonsense.
But as you say, having all transmissions HD as standard, now that would be nice.
Do you remember how much the 1st DVD players cost, or how much the first Blurays machines were? As the technology progresses and is more widely used, costs come down. Let's hope it does for HD TV too.
