I suppose if the bandwidth was there the streaming services could hypothetically do it, but it seems it'd be a huge undertaking for broadcasters(assuming the gov't even approved it). I'd also be curious to see what you all have to say regarding Baraka, etc. regarding the future of picture quality. I always find these discussions to be fascinating, as many people on the site at least SEEM to have a certain degree of knowledge.

Yeah, discussions are fine, but it's hilarious when people start throwing out stuff like "it'll NEVER be a home video format" when in reality they have ZERO basis for fabricating such a definitive statement, and even then it's only pure speculation, not fact. No one knows what will happen. I'm pretty sure 15 years ago, these same people would've said there'd never be an iPhone, either. It's just people trying to justify their collection, and as we all know, people WILL continuously upgrade or be left behind.
