At most there are 16 games a week. Usually, there is one Sunday and Monday night. Divide the remaining 14 by two for Fox and CBS and you have 7 games a week per channel. If CBS goes to six games in HD a week, that will leave only ONE game that is not broadcast in HD per week. That is ridiculous. What is the point of that?

I disagree with one of your points.

"If studios can make money on both sides and they all start to support both sides this war could go on forever, "

If that happens, we have no war. War indicates that one side will eventually be beaten and fall bloodily to the wayside.

Gotta be OTA

Actually, regarding the sensor bar. If they provide a mechanism to calibrate the tv's location to the sensor bar, the bar would not have to be located above, below, beside, or anywhere else specifically.

They could make a calibrator where you put the remote on upper-left and lower-right corner for example. This would work as long as you don't move the bar or else it would need to be recalibrated.

I expect you will need to have a calibrator anyway, otherwise how would it know if you placed it above or below and what size tv you had.

I wonder how many people will buy a Mac because of this new feature and then never get around to installing Windows because they like OSX so much?

I'll take two!

If it doesn't have NFL Sunday Ticket, I could care less!

Both WILL flop. They don't provide enough of an increase in value over DVD to justify the added expense of adopting a new standard. Standards come and go, but unless they provide a significant leap over the previous, they will mostly just disappear.

The same people that are now listening to their SACD or DVD-Audio discs are the ones that will one day be watching movies on their BluRay or HD DVD discs.

The rest of will wait for the real 'next' standard of media storage to come about which could come in any number of forms. In my opinion, central storage accessed from anywhere (or any device) in the world through broadband without ANY physical media is the next logical jump.
