I have 1 friend that has 5.1, because he got a package deal with his TV. Other than him, I'm the only other person I know that has an HDTV. So, not a huge deal for a lot of people just yet.

both of you r the only people with an HDTV no offence but thats awful!! i have 3 HDTVs in my house either than my own in my room :P and im 14 years old!! but i dno wat kinda speakers it has as i dont really care lol and most of my friends have HDTVs too but like 3/4 of them dont have the HDMI wires sooo they have HDTVs for nothing as they probably dont even know they need a wire to make the graphics better lol

They may be using a DVI or a component cable, either one can give the same quality picture as an HDMI cable, or may even be a better quality picture.

Worked at a cable company for a few years and a lot of our customers agreed that the component cables vs hdmi they saw no difference on the HD channels, but on standard definition the component cables made the image look a lot better.

Also your statement that you have 3 HD TV's in your house sounds slightly elitist, not everyone has enough disposable income to justify buying an HDTV.
