All of our TV's are CRT analog, none HD TV ready. We are currently on a
pretty basic package with Comcast cable.

For about $10/month more we can upgrade to digital with additional
features, including more channels and movies on demand.

Question: Will we see any difference in picture quality if we switch to
this digital package?


Not necessarily. If your current analog signal is strong across all the
channels and your televisions are all analog, you won't notice much
difference. If some or all of your channels are weak or snowy, you will
notice a difference.

After all I've been through, I think the biggest bang for the buck is going
to an "ED" widescreen display with digital service. We have a 42" plasma ED
and a 50" plasma true HD. There is a difference, but not huge when sitting
10 feet away. Both *are* a quantum leap over the old analog service with
analog 480i monitors.

Thanks. We will keep the basic package as it is.

We will probably look at upgrading our TV's once we sell our house in 5
years (we will not need 4,000 square feet of house once the kids are out of
college) and buy our dream water front property. ;-)

That's what you think. They all come back, in numbers.

Been there, done that. We now rent the biggest storage locker you can
get around here, and the garage is still full. And that was after we
gave away an unbelievable amount of stuff up north.
