James, That is a bummer that we have to wait so long before a standard is set. I wonder if the rational of letting them set a standard was to somehow protect the businesses and (by trickle-down) the consumer so that there weren't a bunch of different standards set and confusion. Thinking about it the above really doesn't make to much sense since the broadcaster/cable folks are going to need to purchase their equipment first. I wonder if the FCC, in an act of protectionism, will go out of their way to not pick the Japanese system (if that is even one of the options). I wonder if there is any way for a digital system to get picked that could be changed over time? So that if someday everybody wanted to bump the resolution from 1000 to 1500 scan lines they could just reprogram everything to do so? Any ideas? When you say 'station', what do you mean? Are you talking about the local distributers or the 'originators of the programming? -Sean
