So, then what makes an HDTV set?  Would an analog 4:3 set qualify?

Do not confuse Table 3 (rejected by the FCC in any case) with HDTV in
general.  Table 3 says 1080i has 1920 active samples per line, but the
most popular professional HD recorder, Sony's HDCAM, records just 1440
(in luma; just 480 in color-difference).  Table 3 is compression
constraints, not displays.

TTFN,
Mark
