I don't read this group that much, but I am interested in certain aspects of
what it covers.  In particular I would be interested to know when we can
expect to see digital TV in the stores.  About 6 months ago I heard a little
about them, but haven't heard much since.  I think that it is only now that
the technology is ready for the consumer.  From what I've read, I thought
that it would be really neat to watch 2 or 3 channels at once, "capture"
frames, get super high resolution, etc.  I suspect the first models
will be from Toshiba, Hitachi, Sony and the like, but when is the real
question?

Can anybody shead light on this for me?  Maybe I should trot down the road
to RCA's Sarnoff Research Labs (they do all their video research work there)
and see what they're up to? :-)
