Does anyone else worry about the purchases we made a few years ago. I have a 65" Mitsu, and the Mitsu STB. WE do not have DVI or Firewire. The promise module is the whole reason I went with Mitsu, but can anyone tell me what to do if DVI becomes the standard? I know we hear a lot of talk on this, but what does the future hold for us early Mitsu adopters? I love the picture, and compared to all of my HDTV friends, I think I do have a better picture, but I am a little worried.

Except for the ability to record, would we be losing anything if the standard becomes DVI? I thought we would still be able to VIEW everything as is, but lose the ability to record (which I don't do anyway).


Please explain exactly what DVI or firewire would do? Would it mean we can't view an HDTV over the air broadcast in 1080i?

jbabbit,


The way I look at is this, I've had my Mits 65905 since January 2000 and if I use it one or two more years, I'll have had a good run. I look forward to being able to buy a big, hang on the wall tv that does full 1920x1080p by then.


I've got my eye on what happens with this:
