He said "10+years old". I just assumed that itīs just normal "tube-TV" or at least using standard definition (not "HD" - 720p or 1080i/p).
With "HD-film", I just meant Blu-ray/HD DVD. Bad choice of word, perhaps.
I guess others are more "open" etc (  ), but I personally donīt see any real point of buying e.g. 1080p Blu-ray-films and then watch them "downconverted" to NTSC 480i/p (via standard definition TV). That just was my point.
I would start saving for a new HDTV and buy some selected Blu-ray-titles in the "meantime". But if HDTV is not an option, is probably best to stick with DVDs (cheaper).
Then again, these are all personal choices.
