I understand that, i dont even always wear my glasses to watch tv, i guess im just not an avid tv watcher, i like gardening and being out doors, but in winter i can sleep pretty good by the tv. A cable converter will work for me, . to watch the old black and white movies on TBS. Im not a sports fan and dont really care what number is on his helmet. BuT, i hope everyone buys a 3000 buck tv so I can fix it later, I doubt they will throw it away as easily.
