[BC] TV Standards

[Robert Meuser]

Bill gates was wrong

unless you are viewing 1080P which is not transmittable, no progressive format 
matches 1080 I which I am watching as I type. If you have a true 1080 I 
compatible set, the difference between that and lower formats is stunning. NBC 
PBS and CBS prime time HD shows nuke ABC and FOX, even their employees admit the 
point. 720 P sucks.
