Perhaps the giant mistake made in this whole digital transition thing is the lack of standardization. We have 1080P, 720P, an older set of of 1080&720I standards, and an even older set of only 480 scans lines, and then to add injury to insult, we can't quite decide if we want 4:3 formats or 16:9. And then to add more injury to more insult, we should be using better MPEG4 compression, and instead we use MPEG2.
And then we wonder why this Turkey fails to fly to its full potential.
As they say, a camel is a horse designed by committee.
Will we soon need a digital transition #2 to get things right? Thereby screwing even more consumers.
