I have.
100 bucks for the HDTV card for the computer.

Should I want a larger  display I'll purchase one of those.

To tell you the truth already having run HDTV here on
a 19" CRT monitor located on the hospital cart next to 
bed I'm perfectly happy with that.

At this close of a distance a new solid state HD monitor in the
proper aspect ration would show the individual pixels.
The CRT doesn't

Now for multiple people  viewing this is obviously unsuitable but
for me it's ideal.

And the video driver automatically sets the aspect ratio correctly
from video files.

Unsure about how the HDTV card will behave but if necessary I'll
TiVo everything to the hard drive and then play it.

I don't know how feasable this is under Windows but it's
a snap here :-)
