Good Morning Dadkins,hope you have a good weekend uhoh, YOU've done it now,
you have hit my "'curious question"",(i don't know) nerve, lol
=======================
lots of questions about ""Blue Ray",
IF "blue ray" becomes the new format for movies,
Questions(s)
1, Will all the local,Nat'l(cable/satellite stations) have to switch their formats also?
(like from SD to HD,now to blue ray)
If (most of us have) classic or favorite VHS or Dvd movies,(either in SD or HD)
2,Will we have tobuy another pcs of equipment/player-burner to play/record these new version movies.
3,Do you thing Sir, that eventually there will be a machine that will play bith formats?
(like VHS & DVD's)

| #1 No.
Cable and Sat TV will continue delivering what they are and eventually(hopfully) increase the quality of their offerings.
Blu-ray is the current leader in Picture Quality.
HDTV is currentlt at 1080i(interlaced) - screen draws half of the picture and then draws the second half.
1080p(progressive) draws the picture all in one pass.
Currently, PQ from the various HDTV sources goes like this:
Sat - Cable - OTA - Blu-ray.
#2 Yes. To play a Blu-ray Disc, you will need a Blu-ray player or a Blu-ray drive for your computer.
The Blu-ray drive for the computer will also need HDCP compliant hardware along side of it to display the 1080p image.
The Blu-ray movies can be ripped and converted, but you lose quality if you re-encode it smaller to fit on DVDs
The movies are 19-45GB in size.
#3 Which formats? HD DVD is getting dropped.
*ALL* Blu-ray players and drives will play DVDs fine! 
Hope this helps!
