Phil,

although 16 times better resolution appears a bit silly indeed, there is 
a marked difference in today's transmissions.
In the early 1960s' we lived in Cambridge (UK) and watched British TV. 
It looked good enough for me (although was I had seen in 819 lines in 
France was definitely superior).

Now, our channel 26 WETA transmits some old British programs (from tapes 
I presume)  and I must say that some of the Benny Hill re-runs 
definitely lack sharpness. (which, because of the content, hum hum, I 
sincerely deplore ...  :-)
