[QUOTE="ichessblumen, post: 526958, member: 45047"] here comes my prediction. people used to have SDTV since 60 years and pay a fee for the public broadcasting stations. commercial broadcasting stations have now earned money since 24 years in germany by selling their advertisement slots. they could have invested that money in new equipment instead of buying ocean-going yachts, ferraris and castles :D and would be in pool position now. but now it is a stillborn child. of course a small percentage of 40 million households in germany( let alone europe) will buy new equipment but it'll never turn into a profitable business ( see 18 years long story of SKY/premiere/D1 in germany). so htpc will not die, people will buy (lend) dvds/bluray discs or video-files. other sources not to mention. and put it on the hard disks (itunes is a good example for successful business) . the content counts...and if SDTV is already shitty the high definition will not improve it anyway....:P i'll lean back and see how the money burns.... :D [/QUOTE]
