Kyle Pope and Evan Ramstad are morons! Journal article is total trash. I wonder if these guys could put together a more negatively biased article if they tried! Apparantly, they only spoke to individuals who, for whatever reason, are biased against DTV. They also twisted comments and viewpoints to further enhance their "position". I was especially amused by the last paragraph where Brent M. Magid (M is for MORON) is quoted as saying, "HDTV holds little or no appeal...For consumers there's very little interest". What a joke. What planet is Brent Moron from? No appeal? Doesn't that contradict every marketing study conducted with sample groups who have seen HDTV? Once again, I submit that there are powers at work trying to stifle this whole thing. Our day will come. Scott
