Gee, I bought a "digital" television set, oddly enough from Target, just
last week. A 15" LCD for the bedroom. Funny, but this "digital" set has RF
(With NTSC-only tuner), composite video, s-video, and analog component video
inputs, with the component input capable of 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i (480p
native) but it doesn't have a single digital input or output, nor can it
receive or decode digital OTA television or digital cable. Still counts as
a digital set, though, to the CEA.
I do believe you're right on the mark, Bert.
