SDTV or HDTV?

[VPFLYER]

Thanks DEW042.

Let me add some info. We have only one local TV station capable of reception by antenna. And since it is a network station, I don't watch it! I'm not into surround sound, super dvd viewing, etc. 2 channel sound and the current DVD sources are fine with me. I'm stuck with cable or satellite service in order to get the range and depth of programming I want. And I prefer satellite.

So the question is really, will SDTV still work (with satellite and cable) when the HDTV requirement is activated? Or are the manufacturers going to use the HDTV standard to drive sales?

Thanks Again

Mike
