Yikes! Not only am I poor, but live in an old house with smallish rooms. 50" is way too big. My exh brought home a projection tv back in the mid-90's, don't remember the exact size, but the best place to watch it was sitting on the stairs - across the hall.
I could probably go a bit bigger than the 32" I have now (though 32" is fine if the quality is high). I use a very small tv in my bedroom on my dresser and that's fine too.
To me 50" is just waayyyy too big and would be way out of my price range.
I would be thrilled to get a system that does the following:
allow me local network tv
allow me to add "cable" channels - the ones *I* want, not a package
not have my internet bill go up (right now it's cheaper for me to get basic cable plus internet than to get internet alone)
go back to one damn remote! ever since the "new and improved" digital cable came out, I now have more cables, 2 remotes, a converter box that is weighs less than the cables and more image problems than I ever had. I don't have HD tv's. PLUS the converter box plugs in which uses electricity. Hate them! Another improvement that did nothing for me but cost me money and aggrevation.
