I paid $600 in 2002 and that was SD only. An HD one was closer to $1000

Well I got that laser stb-6000 set-top box for Xmas and it work the way I want it but my choice of words were that my family tv is an LG from October 2008 and my 2Dick Smith tvâs are from 2013 and 2015

It may have been possible with the old CRT TVs, youâd have to be the Gingerbread Man to fit in them now!

I remember 2004 I think it was and we were buying a new HD tv and it was like $2000 for a Phillips widescreen (weighed about 70kg) CRT or something like $10-20,000 for LCD/Plasma hd tvâs?. We bought a settop box though for $200.
Is that right , it was 10 grand? or more I vaguely remember it .

Sounds about right⌠In 2000, Plasmas were about $30,000, by 2006, you could get a 32 inch LCD for about $4,000, down to about $2,200 the following year.
$30,000 for tv , how much was a Corolla back then the same price it is now?
That seems crazy for a tv to be as much as a car costs now new.

I think so but the wiki page for list of digital television channels in Australia page hasnât been updated yet and the free tv dttb hasnât got a new version yet either (itâs been 9 months since itâs been updated)
When they canât get their channel names correct.

That is inexcusable.

Most people jumping on the HD bandwagon were usually buying widescreen CRTs at that time anyway, which usually hovered around the $4000-5000 mark. Bulky but relatively cheap, and the quality was miles ahead of what Plasma and LCD offered.

More likely lazy. Most TV execs donât know the difference between SD and HD. Or care about HD.

Nic couldâve be watching a 9Now stream (which is in 720p but without a âHDâ watermark addition) or some form of internal feed? There are ways to watch the main Nine channel in HD without seeing the âHDâ watermark, you know!

He tweeted it when Seachange was on Nine last night, so chances are he was at home rather than at the office.
