First adopters?  Back in 1988 I bought a nice Sony 27" tube and vowed it would 
be the last TV upgrade I did until switching to HD.  They were talking how HD 
would be out any day now back then.  In 1997 we looked at the state of HD and 
there was hardware but little to no content (the demo system at Soundtrack 
used a computer with a hard drive, there was no HD disc or tape media back 
then.  We could get one HBO thing over satellite IIRC which was "coming real 
soon".

The politics of "make it uncopyable" screwed the true first adopters a decade ago.
