"Regarding Charter Cable TV -- One of our smaller TVs had a stroke and died -- so I bought a small HD Flat Screen TV. Even though I only have Charter's stripped down version bare basics cable, this new HDTV picks up a good dozen more channels than our other two older TVs that are not HD. I'm receiving channels on this set that would be premium on the other two. If you have a High Definition set -- it's a good idea to 'scan' your channels occasionally to see what all might be available to you now. You might be pleasantly surprised -- as I was."
