Sorry, but this is a stupid remark.  Bandwidth is restricted only if you
insist on broadcasting over the airwaves.  Most people receive TV via cable,
where bandwith limits are not an issue.  And most people watch movies on
VCRs, where bandwidth -- again -- is not an issue.

No one really cares about watching "Family Feud" on HDTV.  What people want
on HDTV are movies, which are usually delivered on tape (or CD in the near
future).  Roll over, Zenith, here comes Sony.

The American consumer electronics industry *deserves* to die.
