Well tbh, it isn't like there has been many native 1080i screens around anyway and as it is, LCD and plasma as a solution for HD is really just a stepping stone between CRT and SED, OLED and FLCD displays.

Also do remember that our SD transmissions on the 'main' channels are of a very high quality, so much so that some stateside peeps are fooled into thinking some DVB-S stream rips are actually HD because they just aren't used to it.

Our broadcasts surpass DVD specs, however it looks like the US's broadcasts will fall short of the quality on the new stored mediums.

Personally I think many, if not most of the HD in the US is actually quite ****ty in quality, I don't think its just down to bad transfers as Sin City which was shot in HD on a video, whilst good in quality doesn't match the likes of the demos manufacturers show or the likes of Euro1080i's HD1.
