That's pale in comparison to my 52" inch TV. I'll stick with the television for now. Maybe down the road!

My 1.67 MHz Athlon (2GHz equivalent according to AMD) won't do
HD. It takes about 3GHz or equivalent. Dual core much better. Anything more is, well, more better!
I think we are still seeing only the infancy of online video. For all the wonder of ATT U-Verse, over copper it's only good for one channel at a time at a given distance. Not sure of the specifics, but many found that they can't watch different programs in different rooms. I don't know the U-Verse specs, that if it were FTTC, can it do several channels at once?
From the little I have read consumer reviews on U-Verse to me it's not an option unless it were the only choice.
The one beauty of the internet that will push it on, is video on demand, even if like me, you have to download and watch later. Still better than waiting till fall to see a movie on HBO, etc...
