Dario is right! Why is our government/industry/fellows spending these
valuable resources of time & talent on such foolishness? Besides, even given
a really hi-res format standard; WHAT WOULD YOU WATCH? What would the source
be? Most of the "video-taped-for-Television" CRAP-Sitcoms are done on
lo-res gear! Movies, you say? At some point, even 105mm Panavision
formats would be of lower-res than the HDTV screen, so who cares?!
