anyone going to watch the Superbowl?

Anyone having a party with people over to your place? Gonna show off the HT rig when people are there?

I'll watch it on and off. The stupid local FOX bone heads here aren't HDTV capable. Sucks big time. So i'm not that interested in watching it.

    The question is, who ISN'T watching it. HD? Who cares. I'd watch it on an 8" B&W with rabbit ears and foil if that's all that was available.

    Cheers,

    My wife just went to pick up the last bit of food for the game. I think that my kids looked forward to the junk feast more than they ever did the game.

    The oldest boys still talk about how much fun they had eatin' nonstop for 4 hours!

    Oh yeah, and the commercials!

    excuse me. but till you watch sports in HD, everything else is inferior. HD rules!

    if HD was a food item. i'd slather it all over my body and run around licking myself :p

    Yep, party at a family friends house. They have a HDTV so it is a little bit of a downer. It is just as well, as my HT rig isn't really finished yet.

    Who cares, though. Pats are in and tehre will be a lot of great food:D :cool: :p:)

    GO PATRIOTS!

    Fortunatly Fox has opened up the HD East feed on Direct TV. I can't get local Fox OTA and if they did not port it I would have been majorly PISSED OFF. I hope they leave the feed on so I can watch Nascar in HD and if not screw Fox.

    FOX HD does look awesome, and the receiver locked in DD 5.1 we'll see how it goes.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Not many companies are as diverse as Rotel. We used some Rotel for our cheese dip and Rotel for the preamp too! :D

    Yeah, on the plant tour, I couldn't believe that they chopped tomatoes not more than 20 feet from where they soldered circuit boards.
