I'm bemuse by the whole Blu-Ray and HD DVD thing. I don't see it's relevance to me, but I might be wrong. For audio, I do enjoy 5.1 SACD sound through my HT system, but I don't have a HD television nor any HD audiovideo sources.

My current TV is a good (?) old standard 27" CRT it has S-Video and Component inputs; my AV receiver has corresponding outputs but I connect video directly to the TV from my Samsung universal player. Component doesn't seem to work for not reason I can figure out, so I use S-Video.

Is my situation hopeless? Are Blu-Ray and HD DVD irrelevant for me? I have no plans (viz. no cash) for upgrading my TV or AVR.
