NO, the major problem is most people think its still too expensive ( when they dont even know the price ) or havent actually watched anything in HD like a good movie from beginning to end. HDTV is a no brainer home entertainment major improvement for all of mankind, just like silent movies, radio, TV, color TV, & home video were and are...Not some government mandated "cash grab" that the masses have to "suffer" thru. jco

Face it... HDTV and DTV in general has been legislated as "mandatory" since the mid 90's. It hasn't been feasible to force people to switch because everyone has been fighting over royalties and what type of DRM can be inflicted upon users. As a consequence, it is not nearly as prevalent as it {c|sh}ould be. -Cory -- ************************************************************************ * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************ * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
