Dude, go for the LCD HDTV. I have a 51" Sony LCD, and after 3 years, I am still blown away by the picture. Some of the discovery channel stuff is breathtaking. Go fo it!!!!!

Wayne,

No the only thing you will need from Dish Network if you want to go Hi Def is a Hi Def receiver and the third LNB added to your dish. If you don't want to buy a Hi Def TV right now then you don't need anything from Dish Network for your main TV. It is the ones on the antenna that you will have to have the converter for. The one that connects to your Dish Receiver will still get the picture just as well but it just won't be Hi Def. Did you happen to watch any of this years NASCAR races? Several of them were broadcast in Hi Def and I get the same picture as I always do, just not the Hi Def one which is better. I even have my satellite receiver ran through my VCR and then to the TV, as I like to rent movies on DVD from time to time and I need the VCR to play them. But if I want to watch one channel and record another or just record something that is done on the DVD drive in the satellite receiver. Mine us a small one and will only record 150 hours. Then it will shut off and you have to delete some of what you have on there if you want to record more. I normally just delete everything I have recorded when I am through recording some things.
