"I use an analog to digital antenna converter box." -- How without the converter box and over the air (OTA) with antennae (rabbit ears for me).

Anyways, I have two HDTV tuner cards in my PC (not always on and not recording everything like reality shows) and an old CRT TV+VCR+DTV Pal converter box as a backup.

Holy shit, I haven't seen that screen in a LOOOOOOONG time. We had an Amiga 3000 with a Video Toaster, Lightwave, DTV and Deluxe Paint III. Sadly, our video production business never got off the ground, but it did get me into a career doing computers. Thanks mom!

Had myself an Amiga 3000 at one point. My mom wanted to start a video production business so the thing was loaded. Video Toaster, Lightwave, Deluxe Paint IV, DTV, sound editing software (can't remember the name), etc, etc.

...and of course, Shadow of the Beast III.

Sadly, the business never got off the ground and I learned my first real lesson in computer depreciation.

Also, the whole digital thing is overrated. All it amounts to is interactive menus. The picture quality is the same.

I'm fairly certain this comment is misinformed as to the nature of the analog-digital switch.

It sounds more like a comparison of cable company digital/analog offerings.

While it's true that DTV allows for interactive menus, it also allows multicasting (eg: simultaneous SD and HD versions of the same program on the same "channel"), and potentially increased picture quality, though this is ultimately up to the broadcaster. It's also my understanding that digital uses the transmission bandwidth more efficiently.

I wish Marvel would make the animation in their DTV stuff just a little bit better. The two Ultimates discs were really poorly designed and animated.
