[QUOTE="jvr, post: 431428, member: 15634"] Yep, the alarm bells have been ringing for some time. Really unfortunate though that HD formats can't seem to survive. This is reminscent of what has been happening with DVD-A and SACD (the latter to a lesser degree). Consumers have been sticking with the CD format (or mp3 and iTunes) while HD video content in the first world has become easily obtainable. You are right though, it simply is a logical evolution from physical medium to on-line content. Blu-Ray Audio never got off the ground as HD audio content and music servers become more accessible and more affordable. Regrettably we (here in SA) will suffer as DSTV may take some time (if ever) to broadcast in full HD, while our broadband services are not yet ready for easy accessible HD content. Sigh. :-\ Wonder what will happen to Blu-Ray's planned extension into UHD? Also bound to fail? [/QUOTE]
