>>>That is why all that HD DVD hoopla is such a non-event to me.<<<
I'm curious about it, but I don't expect to buy into HD-DVD or Blue-ray, even though my TV would show it well. At best, I think it will be a niche market, like SACD. At worst, it will die shortly after birth.

Since I am detached from that development, I think I can judge it objectively, and taken as such, I think you might be right.I know people tend to equate the explosion of large screen TV sales to the development of HD format, but I believe the reality is different, and the great majority of those buying them would still do if HD did not exist.
The great majority of people who own them, simply view the normal cable broadcast, which is ridiculously bad in quality, but apparently good enough for 99% of people. And today you can buy a decent DVD player for under $39...
I believe there are undeniable parallels between the HD DVD and the SACD.
