Here's something not worth own thread but what I want to say. If I misunderstood the point of this thread, I sincerely ask the OP to tell it to me and I will delete this post.
We, household CEO and I, we like to watch an American TV-series "Numb3rs". Just yesterday when watching an episode I was thinking the difference between European PAL and American NTSC systems. (NTSC = Never The Same Color)
I mean, I paid a lot of completely digital high-end Home Entertainment system with FullHD 1080 capability, and then most of the shows I'd like to watch come from U.S.A., so what I see is quite a lousy picture most often in 4:3 format. The quality is often quite poor because of converting NTSC to PAL.
Back there behind the big water, is this Digital Broadcasting you just started going to make a change in my dilemma? May I see better picture quality in American shows in the future?
