True.  the "quiet" nature is also of importance for a FE.

I should clarify.  I mentioned "well, as HD as you can get" because DVD
video is definitely not SD. :)  What I meant to say was that "we're
primarily SD for over the air television (480i), and we watch a *lot* of
DVDs (480p)".

Sorry for the confusion. :)
