One of the biggest misperceptions that clients have out there is that if they go out and they buy a high-definition television, they expect that you see everything as great, awesome, high-definition picture. In order to see that picture, you actually need not just the television, but a high-definition tuner box from your satellite or cable company. You also need a subscription to a high-definition programming station. Without those three things in place, you will not see any better picture. In fact, you'll probably see a worse picture because you will now get standard-definition content on a very large screen, and that tends to not look so good.
