If I keep all my HD at 1080i, is the "switch on back" a non-issue and is the new Zenith any better for me than the current one?
I ask because DTV is replacing my fried non-HD sony DSS system, and I'm told by the repair tech that its not difficult to convince them to upgrade me to an HD unit if I agree to subscribe to HD service.
I do, however, have to keep my contract for another year, and am not sure I want to wait for the new boxes while paying for service until they come out. I'll be paying even if I have no box at all until then.
I've read MANY posts on the Zenith vs other boxes issue, and would accept all 1080i if it means I save hundreds of dollars on an HD system.
