John,

Please re-read what I wrote.

704x480i in 16:9 is a valid ATSC format (yes I know table 3 was not adopted 
by the FCC) but it is not currently used  by a single broadcaster in the 
United States.  I said it would never be used.  I said that perhaps 480p 
16:9 would be used, but 480p is ED, not SD.
I said that the only 16:9 native format IN PRACTICAL USE will be HD content. 
That includes 720p60, 1080i30, 1080p24, and 1080p30.  For cable, that could 
also include 1080p60 using advanced codecs.
Thank you for reading the entire post, not just what jumps out at you as 
wrong.
John
