I'm not sure this is true, it certainly isn't the case that the 
current TV technology is compatible with HD.  HDTV (high definition 
television)only sets won't be required until January 1, 2009 but, not 
to worry, you'll be able to buy a converter for your 'old-fashioned' 
TV set.

The problem is there are two different HD-DVD systems out there and a 
choice has yet to be made and the DVDs won't be interchangable.  Some 
of us are old enough to remember the Beta/VHS video controversy (the 
better system--Beta--lost). In other words I think WB is being a bit 
precipitous if they've already made up their minds which system 
they're going to use.
