July is what I had in mind.  I've never even actually _seen_ an HDTV
picture so far as I know, but if I want to be able to record and save
television shows in the future (after traditional TV is phased out), it
looks like I need to get up to speed on HDTV sometime before July.
Equipment sold after July will have a lot of restrictions on how you can
use the signal.

HDTV is on my to-do list, and I need to make sure July doesn't slip past
before I do something about it.
