I think the crowd reaction is understandable. Analog TV is still outselling DTV 4 to 5, and that's _all_ DTV not just HD. Barely more than 1% of households have OTA DTV tuners. And that's for the consumer end. Apple's products are production side which is an even smaller market.
I think Apple had to support HD because the industry expects it. Even if nobody is using it. Better to offer support that basically is just enabling higher resolutions than to give detractors something to attack them on. -Kevin On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 14:58:27 -0600, Jim Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was thinking that as well.
