In Reply to: high-def TV is better than current DVD posted by audioman on January 23, 2003 at 19:54:55:
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.John
