If you like sports you might hit on your local station to > broadcast Oz footie in HD. We had a sports-only HD channel, that eventually caved in and stopped being sports-only. Sports would be a good example for a need for HD, with all that text on the screen, and a tiny ball in a field of players. Unfortunately, most large screen TVs are LCD, and they're crap at fast motion (as a camera pans across the field, the screen is really blurry - some of that's the MPEG compression, a lot of that is technology of an LCD screen). Digital TV has been the decimation of our television stations. It cost an outrageous fortune to replace the transmitter, and all the production equipment, and our local stations have become little more than a relay of Sydney television, just with local adverts and a tabloid excuse for a news service. Two of them have left their studios to shift to mere office space. Having to change to HD, just a few years later, is another expense that the stations don't want. Analogue equipment might last twenty years, and not need endless fiddling. Digital equipment needs replacing every few years, and has required daily management by engineering. If you want to make a disaster, digitise/computerise it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
