Live in Saskatchewan? All your games blacked out?

[griswold]

I learned something today about the blacked out games here in Saskatchewan. Apparently the blackout policies DO NOT apply to TSN HDTV. So if you are living in Regina and would like to see the local football game, just sign up for the above channel. Most cable providers sell the HDTV package for an additional $10/month.

I am not sure if the above works in other cities or not.

10 bones a month plus a HD Capable TV, which could trim down the wallet real quick.

HD televisions are not cheap, expesially if you're going to get a TV in 1080i or 1080p resolution... I paid over 8000.00 dollars for a 52" Plasma 1080p TV last month.

Is it true plasma TV's only have a max life of 7 years?

The bulbs have a life span of about 4-5 years in the newer plasma's.. the TV's are good as long as the bulbs are changed... no burn-in with images anymore either.

If anything though, I reccommend getting a LCD projection if you're going to go with an HDTV, close in overall quality to Plasma TV's.. and Sony is dishing out some good ones right now, at a pretty reasonable cost.

I believe plasma TVs have a life of around 60,000 hours, so if you ran it 24/7 then it comes out to close to 7 years. Obviously it'll last a bit longer if you don't watch TV all day
