[opendtv] Re: --FCC OKs WiFi between TV channels

I don't know of anyone's definition that includes an ordinary 4:3 analog 
set.  There is an ETSI definition that includes 480p.  CEA requires the 
ability to deal with 1080i or 720p and to display it as 16:9, though 
that display may be on a 4:3 screen.  Their biggest internal argument 
was whether the 16:9 within the 4:3 had to be 1080 or 720 or could be 
810 or 540.  If I recall correctly, the latter position won.

TTFN,
