I've been experimenting with an HDTV reciever over the past few weeks
and I think I found a pretty big down-side... There are some things
that really shouldn't be shown in HDTV.

Every now and then PBS runs a documentary on wild horses in Montana and
when I woke up this morning and thought "Hey, what's on in HDTV?" this
is what was running.

It was the bit where the horses hit by lightning were being eaten by
bears. Followed by the bit where the lame new-born foal is slaughtered
by an adult male.

Needless to say, close up images of horse corpses being eaten is right
near the top of the list of things I didn't really need to see in HDTV.
I guess it's my fault, I had seen the special before in standard
definition, but it was way more intense this time.

I'm going to take a shower, I feel... unclean somehow...

Yeah... some things just don't NEED to be seen... nothing to do with
censorship... just good taste. Particularly before breakfast...

Hey, it's reality. Watching HD can be like taking off those rose colored
glasses.

I agree, it's just unexpected in my bedroom at 7:45 in the morning. :^)
