I can't wait until digital delivery of video is actually viable, if it ever is. The way I see it, it's not viable until I can use free software to play the video on my HDTV, it's in HDTV resolution (1080x720 MINIMUM) at a decent bitrate, and has surround sound. I can get all of these things from broadcast, cable, or satellite TV right now. Why digital, which can use much more advanced codecs, insists on putting out these horrible quality low-resolution locked-down offerings is beyond me. I suppose they are testing the consumers to see if they'll fall for it.

Please, for my sake and yours, don't fall for it!
