not if you buy a
LCD monitor, for some reason
LCD HD monitors are $100-less than a comparable
LCD HDTV. don't understand how a tuner can add that much but oh well.
At least with a
LCD HD Monitor, and free internet TV it might just as well be the
real digital television transition. no reliance on reception, and tons more channels, and shows that don't even air on cable/satellite anymore. remember Airwolf?
