Quote "Its recommendation 4 is that HDTV broadcasting should use
progressive scanning ? 720p in the short term, and probably 1080p in the
long term."

Maybe you have an old link? Th word 'progressive' is not on that page,
and neither in the editorial.


Long term. Fact is, we've got it. Right now. Enjoyed it Monday night
during a 1.5h ballroom dance competition. This times the signal hung on ...

You do not even have 1080 lines on your LCD.
And how do you know it was progressive?

I am not sure how much longer the 'united states' will last.
Just now the state New York asked for Federal financial help...
Paterson Calls for Federal Rescue Package for States:

If for any reason the federal government cannot, or does not want to, help,
then states may well go their own way, with their own currency perhaps ;-)
AND their own TV system.


Have you noticed that there is a whole country a few hundred miles north
of you on the verge of going belly up?

Iceland?
Seems even some Dutch provinces had their money invested there.

This whole money thing is surreal.
It is the Repugeblican Bush panic making, same he did after 9/11 (that he probably
organised himself, with his Saudi friend Osama).

But this whole hedging thing, as you perhaps know, when buying or selling
options, you need to show to the bank you can pay if things go the wrong way
for you.
But banks played their own lottery, started with that French guy who lost
a few billion... then everybody lost a few billion, now states are a few billion short.
Just pull the plug on the computa, and all debt vapourises :-)

As to your subject line, that box is nice, that you selected,
but it does not do much more than a simple PC with a good sound card, actually less.
This confirms my theory that we should use simple PCs for all that stuff.
'PC as media centre'.
