Re: competition the american way

I'm not saying re-sampling is not happening. Saying that any re-sampling is totally destroys the picture is FUD. The quality (of course, totally subjective) is fine.

And what's wrong with trying to conserve bandwidth? Unlike terrestrial services, you can't really upgrade bandwidth to space too easily.

I think it does.

There are a lot of 1080p TVs on the market now.

We already dumb it down enough by using 1080i and 720p, why dumb it down even further? That's another step backwards I don't want to take.

Don't you dare say it's for compatibility purposes, either. Because I know several hundred thousand to millions of people with HDTVs that don't support HDCP that, come bluray/HDDVD time, are going to want their money back.

They can want all they want.

Here's a good example of stupid America. This is the mentality of people who think they are owed believing that. The bottom line is you buy something with a price on it.. you purchased what you did. There is no "I want my money back".. there is no "victim" here.. People spend way too much time finding others to blame for their own lack of care in making choices.

Let them want their money back - I'd simply put them in a category of needing remedial education since they obviously can't function in the real world or reality.
