TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Not many DVDs display the capability of the medium, just like not many CDs do :-(

Its the same old story - dumbed down for the indiscriminate masses. We have yet to experience HDTV here but even now, digital satellite broadcasts (using the PAL system) are better than most DVDs. There are a few exceptions, but they are few. BTW this is not claiming all satellite broadcasts are high quality either. They vary a lot also, particularly with older material. But against that, a reissue of the 1959 movie "North by Northwest" on DVD is excellent and just shows what can be done with a little effort.
