picture quality is not very important (Score 1)

picture quality is a way overblown feature. just as long as the picture is relatively clean of snow and other noise, extra pixels mean next to nothing to me. we're about to move to HDTV in about a year and so what! i'm perpectly content with TV quality as it stands in its current analog form, and i think most people are content too, as long as the quality is better than a youtube video. for example: i don't keep and movies in DVD format, i rip them to xvid or divx, that way i can store 6 or 7 in the same space of one DVD. good enough, it's not like i'm storing anything precious, it's only a movie.
