My bone head friend bought a HDTV, and hooked it up to standard, analog service.... no intention of getting HD service provided....
Who the hell who does this?

I asked this question at work because im not into tv's and such but their response was. its pointless unless he plans or has a blueray player or a ps3 or such. maybe he just wants to watch movies.

the DAY I bought my HDTV I added the HD box and service with DVR, now I don't know how I lived without them!
I went to fry's planning on buying a cheep tv and they were practically giving away the year-2year old sony CRT HDs. The 36" 4:3 perfectly fits the whole the home builder left for me and atfer making them search around, they found a better one that was cheeper! I guess it was an older model, but had ALL the HD features, the box said $1499 on it, I paid $499. I'm still stoked about that!

I don't know why it seems crazy to you folks. It's next to impossible to buy a tv that isn't a HD capable unit these days. I bought 3 of them 4 years ago and didn't have HD programming at all. In fact I just got HD programming for the first time a couple months ago.

unless he got a killer price on it, like cheaper than a non HD, its just a waste of cash

Allright, show me a "non HD" tv then, I doubt you can find one. And I don't mean a 14" black and white monitor meant for a security system, a real color tv larger than 30 inches.
