36" Sony CRT given to us by friends who bought HDTV set 2 years ago.
20" Magnavox and 19" Sanyo CRTs prior to that.
I am interested in going HDTV but not at the price/pain-points currently offered, esp. from cable. For whatever reason the Antenna in our house in the attic had the cord cut a long time ago, so returning to OTA will be difficult.
When I can get 40" for $500-800 with tuner, then it'll happen. I think that will coincide right around the analog end-of-life date. I'll definitely try to use one of the government coupons for the cash.
My opinion of the HDTV mandate is that it was poorly implemented and ill-timed.
If the HDTV decisions had been finalized in 2002 instead of 1996, I suspect the implementation could have happened much more quickly and been much more universal.
