$1, $2 or $5 -- how much would you pay to watch TV?

    Re: Resolution matters

    Maybe to some, resolution does matter to me. But many people watch a show for the story. As long as one can detect the emotion registered on the face of a character and hear the mood music the quality is good enough. For many plot driven shows such as House M.D. who cares if it's in standard definition quality. You don't need to see every age line in an actors face.
