Yup, cable TV is a complete sham. I know people that pay like $130+/month for all this TV and Tevo and DVR and all that. And you know, its the same programming, over and over and over. Unless you are a sports junkie, I see no reason to pay for cable TV. Netflix is the greatest thing to happen to a movie lover ever. And as for TV, I can pretty much rent whatever I want. In fact, I just finished season one of Dexter and season one of Deadwood. Its much nicer to watch the DVDs also. I don't have to watch at a certain time, or schedule my day around a TV show. And I can watch them all back to back if I want....

But anyway, back to the Blu-ray HD thing. I don't really understand how Blu-ray won out. To me, HD seemed a little more universal. And with Blu-ray being proprietary, I figured HD would certainly win out...

Also, if you have a HD camcorder, and you want to put your home movies on DVD, how does one do that? Do you have to have some sort of Blu-ray editing software with a Blu-ray burner and Blu-ray media? I wonder how all that works???
