Here's what struck me in a post from John today:

 

"Therefore, all SD programming is 4:3 exclusively."

 

And 

 

"In the US, 16:9 will forever remain the exclusive domain of HD."

 

704X480I is not an HDTV format, and I'm not aware of any ATSC or
ATSC-referenced specification that promulgates the use of the term "Enhanced
Definition" or ED.

 

I believe I have accurately quoted John Shutt, and unless provided with a
reference to an ATSC or ATSC-cited MPEG specification to the contrary, I see
HDTV, SDTV, and things that are less than SDTV.

 

I believe the statement directly above is incontrovertible.  

 

So, all I need to disprove both of these is to show actual stream captures
that are 1) displayed in 16:9 and 2) use a format that doesn't qualify as
HDTV.

 

How's this? http://www.etherguidesystems.com/demos/default.aspx

 

And, I have previously conceded you were right about something - in my
subject area, John.  I try to deal in facts, and I only try to attain
perfection, I never have claimed to have achieved it.
