An independent station in the Mid-Atlantic region broadcasts 5 programs that all compare visually and subjectively to the 240 line resolutiuon of VHS.

1. VHS was not NTSC quality, even in it's high quality mode - the luma channel needs about 330 TVL to equal NTSC.

I didn't mention NTSC in my comparison this time or before, only VHS as compared to 'dumbed-down' low-rez digital images.

2. MANY DBS channels are coded at leas than 3.6 Mbps, the ABR for five channels in an ATSC multiplex.

The 'Western' and 'Romance' movie channels that look just like VHS are good examples.
