I'm not comparing anything. Ward is.

Yes.

Yes.

As it is here. NTSC will be no more after June 12.

 PK> The PAL system here is not due to be removed until around 2015.

The US has been broadcasting in digital format for nearly 10 years now.
The switch from NTSC to HDTV was to have taken place on Feb 17, but our
Congress thought there weren't enough DA converters to go around, so they
postponed it until June 12...

That's you and Ward's comparison...I made none. See above.

I agree with that...I have a 60" (1524cm) Sony HDTV whose picture will
knock your socks off at 1080p and 1080i...Even better, we also have a Sony
Blue-Ray DVD player which makes BR movies seem like 3 demensional
pictures. It also enhances and up-converts older DVDs to 1080p.
