For me , never have been a big movie buyer. I own a very serious system in line with studio hd quality.
Yet i own less than 10 which are reference discs.
Basiclly i rent blu ray and have 37 programs on my PVR service including many HD movies.
Although i find it suspect how many actually qualify as hd. Upsampled or 720p does not count. To call a movie
an hd broadcast should mean it is a copy of the D5 master and be running at least 12 Mgps per second
and low on bandwidth throttling or other annoynances.

Thank you for the compliment . That is one of the things that people that miss in HD is the details
Just buying one piece of the chain and believing you have hd is just wrong A Perfect example
being the continiuning trend for the Public to be buying up HD capable TV's . Yet the majority are not buying
the STB and the most popular size is 42"
NOT EVEN CLOSE
