 Dario is right!  Why is  our  government/industry/fellows  spending  these
valuable resources of time & talent on such foolishness? Besides, even given
a really hi-res format standard; WHAT WOULD YOU WATCH? What would the source
be?  Most of the "video-taped-for-Television"  CRAP-Sitcoms  are  done  on
lo-res gear!  Movies, you  say?  At  some  point,  even  105mm  Panavision
formats would be of lower-res than the HDTV screen, so who cares?!
