Hi Mark

I don't think there are likely to be any reports of the demise of these formats for some time. Why? Because the only people who are paying any attention to them are the groups with a vested interest in seeing them succeed. No one will sound the death knell (still a bit preamture anyway) whilst there's still the glimmer of a hope of a commercial return.

I think both disc based HD formats are doomed, but there will be an HD future...there's enough momentum in the broadcast market, and ever increasing broadband capability for future downloads to see it happen.

Cheers

George
