I Just Couldn't Wait
Well, it's been raining steadily yesterday and looks like more today, so the antenna/dish installers are going to re-schedule. I just couldn't wait though so the Tweeter guy came over and we unpacked the 56"er and connected it to the existing antenna and to the XBox. Hopefully we will get the antenna/dish work done early next week.
I'm getting most all of the local channels both SD and HD through the existing antenna. SD is ok, but HD is absolutely awesome. Unbelievable and it will be much better with the new dish and antenna.
XBox, though I've only looked briefly at Links at 420P is also awesome in widescreen. Almost makes it a different game altogether.
Still gotta get all the audio set up and re-installed, but that will come later. Right now, I'm taking the antenna signal and XBox audio directly into the TV and using that temporarily. Also, got a lot of tweaking yet to do, but initially it's usable and absolutely gorgeous picture.
Here's the new cabinet with the TV in it:
