John, I am interested to know where you get your information from. Are you saying for instance, that the plasma panel displays sold in the UK, (of which there are considerably more than "virtually NONE", are of lower resolution than those sold in the US? I am of the understanding that such displays are of generally universal application. My own Philips FD9954 display is certainly better than many on the market and this is/was sold in the UK.

Soooo...not only do you have to=20 subscribe to a 2nd service to get your HD, you have to buy ANOTHER new=20 display! Now that, my friends, is a mess.
