I just assumed that the digitalization(sp?) would be handled similar to
that used in computer monitors, which would seem to be more efficient than 
continual digitalization of analog voltage.  I don't know for sure what 
the actual method is going to be, which is why I asked.  Let me expand my 
question once again.

"Have they decided yet on a specific method of transmission for HDTV, 
and if so, what will the format be?"

Of course, I can answer this question.  No.

Lets start over.

What can someone tell me about the technical aspects of HDTV?
