With regards to HiDef TV you will need a Digital input on your monitor (HDMI jack or an HDCP-enabled DVI jack).
The first batch of HiDef receivers S*Y will ship may have component jacks this to accommodate existing monitors. After this the second batch they will be HDMI only, HDCP-DVI to HDMI converters are available. There will be normal outputs available but these will be downconverted so no HiDef.
Two standards will be used 720p and 1080i the first one for sports and movies etc the latter for documentary and news etc. The broadcaster will determine these modes as they are in control of the receiver.
I have just had demonstration of High Definition on Panasonic Plasma TH42PV500CAB the source is a Japanese Hi-vision receiver fed HiDef pictures from a hard drive using component inputs on the plasma. The images were simply stunning there were no colours bleed no stepping on diagonal lines the reinforcement in imagery was breathtaking. The demo consisted of two champagne glasses with champagne bubbles rising to the top I could see every bubble that made every bubble up as they rose to the top the quality was simply stunning it’s a though I just opened my eye’s for the first time wow!
Then we returned to Animal plant on S*y digital the picture simply pure shite worse than Long play VHS, if I was paying for that I would be demanding my money back, I’m now having trouble watching terrestrial pictures and I have a improved definition television made by Sony.
They should scrap Fr**vi*w and change it over to HiDef .
High Definition will come via the USA on HD-DVD import, programmes are all ready made in HiDef, Once this takes effect broadcasters will have no choice to launch HiDef along with Dolby Digitals and DTS in the UK as viewer number will diminish, revenues will be down, this could be the end of Tv as we know it.
