So now that I have the 52" HDTV, I need a source for content! I get a bunch of HD channels on cable, but there is almost never anything worth watching on. What I really want to see is Planet Earth in HD. It was amazing in standard def, so the HD must be amazing.
Now that the HD-DVD/BD-DVD war is over, I'm torn on whether I should go out and get a BD player or wait. Right now, there are very few Profile 1.1 players out there as far as I can tell. On top of that, I don't think there are ANY Profile 2.0 players. I don't want a player that doesn't do everything that Blu-ray is supposed to do. Do I wait or get a PlayStation 3?
The other consideration is the Apple TV. Now that Apple has put out the update and it supports HD rentals and so forth, it is a slightly more attractive option. My problem with this one, however, is that the bitrates on their HD content is low. It may be HD, but it could also be crappy HD. Plus, I can't own any of the HD content. It'd be very convenient, but not the best looking HD. Plus, no Planet Earth.
So, what to do? Recommendations?
