Default Hi Def no Hi Def

I've got all HD ready kit.
Projector
Amp
TV
Only thing is HD TV signal only available on Sky (even then its
limited).I don't watch sport so theres not much point.
Last time I looked the only HD DVD player was Toshiba at £400+ and the
Xbox HD DVD at £150 (£450 if you need the Xbox too).

We're ALL HD READY in the UK - WHERE'S THE HD!!!!!

I know about the HD v's Blueray and all the others that are coming, I
know its all to do with Film Studios and even newer technology! I'm
down for a PS3 and an Xbox

BUT in UK WE'RE ALL HD READY - WHERE'S THE HD!!!!!
Go in any electrical store and they paw over the fact you need 'HD
Ready' - they don't tell punters that there's no HD without forking
out more £'s. My dad bought an HD ready tv and they convinced him he
now had HD through his Freeview - it had a placebo effect because he
rang me claiming his picture was much better.
Go in the DVD stores and you've got a choice of about 10 HD films -
unless you want the latest brainless blockbusters your stuffed.

I want hi def now and I don't want to spend s@$£ loads to get it -
then get left out in the cold like Betamax. I've spent £2K already and
am willing to go that extra £200 for a good HD DVD player but when I
ask...when??? it can't be hard to guess there's a bloody reat whole in
the market right now for affordable HD players.

Why are the salesman not telling people to wait!! (that's rhetorical
by the way)

We've now all got big grainy pictures and miss the days of our little
analog pictures that were crisp sharp and didn't make UK tv look like
cheap US video tape recordings.

Am I missing something or are we being slightly conned?!
