Re: Some assumptions

Didn't mean to get side-tracked on HD vs. std DVD. The issue is the media/delivery. I'm simply predicting a good quality on-demand service will be available before Blu-ray players are under $100 at Walmart. Just as with Netflix, you'll simply keep a list of your movie picks updated with the provider. Instead of disks being mailed, the files will be automatically sent to your cable box as bandwidth permits.

And as with .mp3 vs .wav, people will compromise on absolute PQ for convenience, especially when the content (or perception) doesn't really demand HD. Look at the lousy PQ the networks get away with calling HD.
