thanks dave.. appreciate the ping. Good article & as usual the FReepers share good info. I was gifted for Valentine’s day a Vizio 43(I think that is the size) and a Vizio Blue ray. Really like them but did have to give up the DirectTV due to the cost & my very limited income at this point. So I have an antenna & get pretty good reception except do NOT get channel 8 (fox).
I do mostly movies on my TV & have started a modest BluRay collection. I can get one movie a month w/Blu Ray & still be 60 dollars ahead from the DirectTV fee
If you have one in your area, I highly recommend Redbox. They rent Blu-Ray for $1.50 a day and SD for $1.00. So, for about $45 a month, you could watch a BR movie every night :-) Create an account and you can reserve movies before you leave the house, so you'll be sure that the film you want is waiting for you when you get there.
