It seems to me that the ones who think HDTV is so great are those who
are in the industry and academics. What I wanna know is, do the
consumers really care about higher resolution? How great a picture does
The Simpsons need? If we're so het up about a better picture, why not
just go straight to digital and work out the compatibility problem
once, instead of now for HDTV and later for digital? It seems to me
that since digital transmission will give a better picture than analog,
no matter how high a resolution the analog might have, we should skip
the middleman. Then this discussion of film vs. video would be a mute
point. Or would it? ;-)
