I agree, but digital is becoming FCC-mandated for broadcasters starting in 2009

Even now, the major network broadcasters in my area (NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS), as well as the PBS channel, are airing a great deal of HDTV content. At some point, you won't be able to buy an NTSC TV set, and HDTV will take over. We are in the early stages now. I think this needs to be factored into your analysis. It certainly gives blu-ray and hd dvd more of a chance than sacd or dvd-a had.

...e people will start to become dissatisfied with the quality of their DVD playback and wonder if the HD media might give better results. I think it's still a bit early to attempt mass market penetration but Toshiba doesn't seem to think so.

  I had no real interest in video quality until I watched an HD broadcast of a sporting event. People are visual. The differences are easy to see. If I can get hooked, anyone can. But I agree with you that it will take time and faces serious challenges in unseating DVD and fending off a burgeoning market for downloadable video.
