My Parents Make The Big HD Switch!

By: Jim Williams

It's about time... my mom and dad finally purchased an HDTV. All my friends have high definition television except for me until now. I would always go to my next door neighbor's house to watch my favorite shows or watch the game.

High definition is just so much better than typical television. Now I can sit in the comfort of my home and watch what I want, when I want. My mom and dad have been watching the same TV for the past 10 years. I was just about through with the regular old pictures we had on it.

I wanted the vivid, clear pictures on my friend's HDTV. I must admit I was jealous of the TV. There is nothing like watching that type of image on a TV and then coming home to a dim, dull, and boring one. One day my parents told me at dinner they finally decided to enter the 21st century and buy an HDTV.

I was so relieved. We all went to Best Buy to look around. When my mom and dad saw the prices of them, they were startled. Apparently, they never priced them before and always thought it would cost a ton of money.

They even said they would have probably purchased one sooner if they knew they weren't so much money. Why didn't I ever do the research for them? Oh well, the point is that they finally decided to buy one. I was ready to sit down and savour our new HDTV when it was delivered.

I had my chips and Pepsi in a glass. I sat down and my mom and dad sat close to me. I guess I won't be able to watch exactly what I want, when I want after all. In any case, we threw in No country for old men. The picture was awesome.

It was so much better than going to the movie house in our little municipality in Arizona. We didn't have to worry about tickets or being bothered by the people who yapped through the entire show. I could now watch a great movie with a great picture all because of our HDTV.

It didn't stop there, since we have the high definition service from our satellite provider we are able to watch the high definition channels. We watch ABC, NBC, and UPN shows with this high quality picture.

In the near future we will have so many other stations, which will have the same impressive picture. Next year all stations will have to send high definition signals only. Bring on the High definition...we are ready!
