That's why I tell people to not bother with converters.  By the time 
you've paid for it, you've covered about 25-30% of the cost of a new HD 
set and with a converter you're stuck with a SD set that cannot deliver 
anywhere near the same picture.

I bought my first HD TV, a 42" Sharp Aquos, for about $900 at Future 
Shop, almost 2.5 years ago.  I also have a 23" 1080p LG computer monitor 
that's also connected to a HD cable box.

BTW, I took my old analog sets to Goodwill.  The guy there said they 
take them, but can't get rid of 'em.  Fortunately, in Mississauga, the 
Goodwill depot is at the same location as the recycling centre.  ;-)
