Now is the Time
January 28, 2008
If you have been eyeing a new HDTV for your home then now is the time to go out and buy one. With the slower then expected holiday sales added to the fact that the big game is this Sunday, there has never been a better time to buy a new HDTV.
I just purchased a new 1080p LCD TV for my bedroom just before Christmas and thought I got a good deal on it, the same set now is priced $300 lower then what I paid for it at the beginning of December.
Also if your thinking of getting satellite television now is also the time as some of the promotions are changing (and the existing promotions for new customers are better now then they will be on February 1st)
If you choose to sign up for new service and want to be hooked up in time for the big game on Sunday then chances are you will need to visit your local retailer, and if your lucky they can fit you in their schedule.
If your looking for satellite so that you can see the big game in HD, make sure the satellite company you pick carries your local FOX station in HD via satellite (if not then check if you can pick up your local FOX HD station via over the air antenna.) I know in years past many people flocked to satellite only to find out the big game was not available in HD to them because the satellite company did not carry the local station airing the game in HD.
Avoid being disappointed, do your homework; an educated consumer makes better shopping decisions!
WWE HD PPV Update
Yesterday both Dish Network and DirecTV customers we able to enjoy the WWE Royal Rumble in full high definition. This event was the WWE’s first true high definition pay-per-view event.
Dish Network customers had an issue with the first 15 minutes of the broadcast, as there was a major audio glitch, which kept the audio cutting out. Once the sound problem was fixed everything looked and sounded amazing. DirecTV customers did not have any issues with the show, however the PPV event cost DirecTV HD customers $10 more then what Dish Network customers paid for the same event.
Not only did wrestling fans get to see the show in HD, but they also witnessed the surprise return of WWE Superstar John Cena, who not only returned but also won the Royal Rumble main event.
