Personally I'm looking forward to the highly increased picture quality

stick with their 1950s technology, so be it; but don't hold it against
those of us who want to move into the 21st century, thank you very
much. Many parts of the world like Japan and Western Europe have pretty
much moved to DTV already, and those countries haven't been engulfed in
mobs of angry people who can't watch TV anymore.

I can't speak for Europe.. but Japan is still using both NTSC (terrestrial)
and HDTV (DTH satellite). They plan to remain that way for the foreseeable
future.

C-band satellite is still NTSC on a number of channels. People have
to remember that Digital TV is not HDTV. it can be but that isn't
necessarily so.
