SD will look very good, but 480i at 4MB/Sec is not HD over 8VSB in the TV broadcast band which is what Bert wants for $16.95, the same cost of a Philips NTSC Ch 3 - 4 modulator sold at WalMart.
Bert's wireless ATSC idea has at least some merit - it could connect wireless devices to the TV in a crude way that would enable the content to be displayed on the TV. The Ch 3-4 ATSC modulator idea is technically feasible, but unnecesary, as any new devices that might need to connect to the TV - DVD and BluRay players, game consoles, etc, already have HDMI as a low priced option.
