The November 26, 1990 issue of Electronic Engineering Times has an extensive
article on something being called SuperNTSC.  It was developed by Faroudja
Laboratories.  It is NOT HDTV, but comes close in performance.  A special
receiver is needed to take full advantage of SuperNTSC, but standard NTSC TVs
will still have a somewhat improved picture. This actually sounds like a
'poor man's HDTV'.
