- The bandwidth and transfer rate aren't there yet. As has been said many
- times, resolution isn't the only measure of picture quality. With a digital
- medium, you get discrete pixels in two directions, where with the current
- analog media you only have discrete features in one dimension. While
- "resolution" might be higher with a digital medium, the overall perceived
- quality might be lower if the horizontal pixel boundaries are visible.
