By my way of calculation, if we had had an 8 mhz system, we would have AT
LEAST 1/3 fewer TV stations than we do today. No Fox, no WB/UPN/CW. Fewer
independents.
And, we would have had to wait more than a few years later for color - or
early adopters would have had to turn in their non-compatible TV sets for
PAL ones.
But, the color would have been better!

I hate to keep beating this dead horse but this excellent quality has
nothing to do with the PAL system. It is all about using 625 lines per frame
and 8 Meg system bandwidth. Where the PAL based color transmission system
uses 525 line 6Mhz video, the video quality is no better than in the U.S.
