It won't be stillborn, but acceptance will depend on how it's presented. I believe the average consumer will appreciate the difference in video quality when HD is compared to DVD. However, it needs to be done correctly (ie; let a videophile do the company's marketing while the marketing department cleans the toilets).

I think High Resolution audio hit a brick wall because it was marketed poorly, the average person doesn't appreciate it, doesn't want to spend money on quality audio and, the biggest reason, they prefer the portability feature of MP3 audio/players. Besides, they get a lot of it for free. The sense of vision translates better to them than the sense of sound. And their reasoning: why spend $20 on an SACD or DVD-A (which includes so much non-Pop music) when you can get a DVD for $14.99 at Wal-Mart?
