Rep Power: 5 | I cannot understand all that fuss about MPEG4. The players should be start thinking about HD transmission... but I guess that nobody cares too much about that. |

Rep Power: 1 | But for that we should have channels broadcasting in HDTV format. I don't think we have any channel in India being broadcast in this format. |

If the infrastructure exists for HD, you will get HD. But the cavaet is, HD channels will be pricier than SD - this is how it is abroad.

Rep Power: 1 | but my question is are you able to see any difference in picture quality with MPEG 2 amd MPEG 4....No. and above all if you were thinking of HD channels then you need a tv set which is compatible to HD channels as well to recieve those. with normal tv's their is no difference in SD and HD channels. |

You are right about TVs - to enjoy HD you will require HD TV. But right now HD TVs are costly. And why? Because of less demand. When HD transmission is available, demand for HD TVs will increase boosting demand and production. With more units in sales, prices will come down. This is what happened elsewhere too. And the same thing is happening for TVs in India too. So DTH should start offering some HD channels - at least the sports channels. | |

Rep Power: 1 | you know if there is anything i dont like to believe, its that... When demand is high then prices fall!!... Because lets take for example if prices ARE less then demand is even higher... cos consumption is even higher with regards to that particular item. BASICALLY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEMAND BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH THOSE BUSINESSMEN WANNA EARN AND BECOME MORE RICH.

Actually I made an ass of myself by making a half statement in the previous post. Strong demand induces production to increase and new players also jump in to cash in on the demand. When production rises the prices come down. In the Hi-Technology industry, there is a very short product life cycle and new innovations/superior technology is always outdating the old products. Thus price drops are frequent and steep. This is, unless some bodies form a cartel to keep demand high, production low and thus prices high. | |
