Funny anecdote:
While I was at my local Wal-mart, they had some HDTV's hooked up, being fed 
from some common source.  The STUPID thing, was that they were all sharing 
some highly compressed video feed.  Artifacts were horrible.  It was better 
than YouTube quality, but worse than standard analog TV.  I couldn't figure 
any reason that they would be showing a demo video that made all their 
HDTV's look like junk.  Incompetence can be funny, I guess...
