Which is more important to you? HDTV or Internet

[bartoma]

As a diehard GTFB fan for 30+ years, technology has had a profound impact on my ability to follow my Yellow Jackets... I used to call the Bobby Ross Hotline, drive to downtown DC to get a Sunday AJC, watch those few key games that were nationally televised...

The two things that have revolutionized being a football fan (particularly one who cannot easily attend games) is HDTV and the Internet... One brings crystal-clear pictures on ginormous screens, while the other brings year-round, immediate access to information, audio, images, and conversation about the team we love...

I'd hate to lose either, but if you somehow lost one or the other, which would you least like to lose?

With the internet I can stream live to my HDTV.

Well, you can get the vast majority of games live on the net. Only certain network's games would be omitted from your viewing pleasure. You can't say the opposite. Selection is limited on HDTV.

The 'Net

For the purposes of the exercise, assume one or the other was never invented...

Have to keep the 'net

Internet has por...porous quality. Makes watching games harder to focus on. But its better than nothing...so internet.

Why is this question of "HDTV or Internet" even on the message board? Seems like an odd poll; hardly related to GTSWARM.

Read my original post - it's just a thought that crossed my mind as these last few weeks before the game drag on...

LOL.. I remember listening to Larry Munson's call of the GT-UGAg BB game on WSB on my car radio... That was the nice thing about early evenings - the skip at the AM band kicked in early enough to hear WSB Lima Charlie...
