The way I've always viewed this is that all braodcasting is trending to
HDTV, even if all displays are not equally capable of giving the "full

a few years ago.
So all broadcasting is tending to HDTV?
WOuld you care to venture a guess as to when all broadcast
programming will be delivered in a wide screen HD format?
It took several decades for ALL BROADCASTERS to produce everything in color.
Today, most, but not all, broadcast programming from the major
networks is produced in HDTV. It is still predominantly a Prime Time
phenomenon, along with a relatively high percentage of network sports
broadcasts. At the local level, the vast majority of stations DO NOT
produce anything in HD. But almost everyone is getting into the
business of streaming and down loading programming, usually with no
more resolution than NTSC.
Is this a trend too?

industry is towards choices - the ability to choose the appropriate
tools and formats for the application, rather than a return to the
"Dark Days of Mordor," where one format rules them all.
