I think that Christopher ahs reached a false conclusion.  Try this analogy:

	If CDs are digital, what are the number of available pitches
	for playback.

Of course, being digital in no way limits the number of available pitches.
In the same way, there will not be a limit to the available number of colors
in HDTV.  I'm sure it's all tied up in Nyquist, and all that related theory,
but I'll admit that I don't know it well enough to lecture on it.  Perhaps
someone else can explain further.
