In Reply to: HDTV is coming..Dont invest in DVD's posted by Lep on February 12, 2004 at 08:58:26:
I have a 51" SONY Hi Def RPTV and recieve Hi Def through a cable box.
This unit has 2/3 pull down for films. It has been calibrated by a senior ISF guru. I have directly compared my DVDs of various films played through my progressive scan Panasonic XP-50 with the same film being broadcast. Yes, of course the Hi Def is better but the difference is nowhere near as great as you say.

I have a Loewe Planus direct view TV in my bedroom with a Camelot Roundtable DVD-player, connected via RGB with 3 separate kimber D-90 digital cables. It's NOT behind true HDTV broadcast AT ALL!
OK, I may have exagerated a bit...But only a little !Could I live with DVD? Sure..My point is that I have seen how much better it can be and I want it. If HDTV movies could be purchased I would buy them. I would be first in line for a whole new set of LoTR extended version movies in HDTV.. The DVD's would make nice coasters.
Hi Lep,
Intresting problem.
Here in the uk there are some DVD recorders that have Component and also Progressive scan input.
Am not shure if you could record HDTV signals into them?Here in the uk HDTV is not very well known,we have been bombarded with DVD day and night and 24/7.
I did travel to the USA and spent a year living there.
I got to use a HDTV set up and i was speechless to say the least.
I felt like throwing all my DVD,S in the bin.
I cannot understand why the rest of the World has not addopted this system.
Good idea about the DVD coasters,
I have been inclined to make the odd frisby out of a Laserdisk,
But not many......
