Yeah, trying to map US-centric views, attitudes, and purported truths onto
what's really happening on the world scale in OpenDTV won't make many
friends overseas.  Most all of the stakeholders and members of upper level
management in the evil corporate entities so rabidly discussed on this list
have passports and are not stupid.

True. If you want to include international TV, I've been watching at least
RAI and TF1 online as long as the US conglom stuff. Always amazing to me how
the Internet manages to have no trouble doing what the TV standards
organizations can't seem to master. Global interoperability. Was just
watching a Carabinieri and mafia show on RAI 1, for example. With the RAI 1
bug showing on the screen, like being there.

Which of course brings up the same old question. How come the available
connected TVs, Roku, or AppleTV, refuse to permit users to find this stuff? 
The image quality is easily good enough for large screen TVs. The audio is
superb. What's the problem? Even if the congloms or the MVPDs would prefer
our attention not be taken elsewhere, aren't the CE companies supposed to be
selling equipment to consumers? That's us.
