Being Grateful - Day 4
As seen in my post, Because I Can, here is what I'm grateful for, today:

Today, Day 4, April 26, I am grateful for HDTV.

I'm a HUGE hockey fan, specifically the Dallas Stars.  Suffice to say watching hockey on TV is a very difficult thing to do.  The camera speed is too slow, the analogue signal is blurry, the puck is so small ... it just isn't a good TV sport.  UNLESS the signal is broadcast in HD.  NBC, once a week, for the second half of the season has been broadcasting an HD game dubbed as "The Game of the Week".  While it's not always a game I want to watch it is TOTALLY worth watching - I thought HDTV was a big deal for football back when it was first released, but I never really appreciated it until I saw the snow fly up from a players skate as he stopped suddenly; the skate-lines in the ice after a half period of ice; or even better, the first time I realized I was watching the puck move on the ice, instead of watching the players react to a mysterious blur I could only barely see.  Thank you HDTV ... now come on My27, start broadcasting EVERY game in HD.
