We have a DVD recorder with a 250 gig hard drive which has a SD tuner so we can watch digital on our tele. If we bought a new HD tele would it receive HD signals if it came via the DVD recorder as it does now, or would it be still all in SD  ??

Short answer: Yes is will be all in SD.

Seeing as your input is SD, SD will be you output (shown on the tv) regardless of if you have a HDTV or not. If you want to record HD you will need a recorder that has a HD tuner.

Side note: If you still had a SDTV, and you recorded whatever program in HD using a recorder with a HD tuner, playback will be in SD, mainly because the TV is not HD enabled.

I personally like LCD better,but Plasma is closing the gap.You guys were talking about HD i could'nt care less about it really in my opinion it's just a alternate channel  to show old shows,old mini-series,and shows that have got axed get a new life on HD,generaly the stuff that gets axed originally i don't watch anyway lol.I know Channel 7 keeps talking about the talk show Andrew O'Keefe will host on HD but never happens and if it's shown and gets some sort of following they will put it on Channel 7 anyway Not that this will happen Andrew is hopeless lol

I think it all depends on the size,

Size matters you know,

and on what you watch a lot eg if you watch a lot of sport and there is a lot of fast movement then I believe that Plasma is better.

but this is just what I have herd,

quick some one find a 12 year old to get the right answer.

Yeah I see theres no 'right' answer by the looks of it. Even sales assistants all seem to have different ideas. I had heard on large screens over 50" that Plasma is better and on the smaller LCD is better. Plasma has a problem with 'burning' if you leave a picture on by mistake I've heard. Personally I'm leaning towards LCD *shrugs*

Alternatives are great and I wish they would play more old series etc., I've watched some great things whilst nothing of interest was on the main ones. I have also liked the ABC2 coverage of the Paralympics

I've heard about a "laser" TV from a friend, but I can't substantiate this with any evidence.

It will be a while before it would catch on anyway. Plasma TVs were were like $20,000 during the early days.
