Hi everyone,
With the long-running reign of the VCR as a "quality" recording medium
coming to an end, the question I have is, "What's the next successor?"
Hard-Drive based PVRs?
Rewriteable DVDs?
Blue Ray?
Does anyone know what resolution the Hard-Drive based PVRs operate in?
Does it deliver a better resolution than DVD-based recorders?
I heard that the next Generation of blue laser DVD writers are coming
out this summer. Who are the manufacturers? And will they be recording at
HDTV resolutions?
Lastly, does anyone know if the government mandated 2006 switchover to
HDTV a firm date? I vaguely recalled that the US government tried to set a
previous date prior to that for the HDTV cut-off, but that evidently didn't
happen. Also, does this mandate cover Cable and Satellite providers as
well? Or did the government leave that out as a large, gaping loophole to
weasel out of HDTV?
Thanks!
