I wish I could find the numbers (and perhaps is different for the US versus UK), but my sense is that there is a large installed base of BIG screen HDTVs in the US (I seem to recall a number of 5 million; 9 million projected by the end of 2007) that would be available to support these HD formats. A number FAR less than that was able to support laser-disc as a pseudo-niche format.

Personally, I am bullish on these new formats.

My Kit: 861v8+ID41, 800v4, UHD722, MD600, MS600, MS200, Oppo BDP-203, Genesis 201, Genesis 350 SE, Genesis S4-8 Sub, BG 520i, VTL MB450 II, Krell Showcase 7, Genesis 928 Subs, Danley DTS10 sub, SVS Ultra 16 subs.
