The Clarity That HDTV Brings

Having just bought a HDTV I have noticed an unexpected advantage. The small print at the bottom of tv ads is now revealed in startling clarity. Here is an example.

Foxtel, an Australian cable channel has been advertising a deal with Telstra. A charming woman (who has done a Julliard degree in sincere, accompanying hand motions) tells it like it aint. For a saving of $275 you can get Foxtel for 24 months and included is a bunch of Free stuff including 2 minutes access to their premier service, Free standard installation (which last time I looked is always being given away) and some Free land-line phone calls (great if you call your Gran in the next suburb 275 times a month).

And then through the miracle of HDTV I read the small print. The total cost of this package for 24 months (minimum contract) is $3360.80.

I bet the small print is about to get even smaller.
