Note: High Definition |

The world is what we perceive it to be.
Dale CrippsThis piece was prepared for
Highdef Magazine, Conrad
Dinkey Publisher. Thought you would like to have an advanced copy.
While recent
press reports are glowing it still remains true that HDTV has
some lingering digital inconsistencies that bug the average
citizen when encountered. The true HDTV enthusiast takes most
adversity as learning opportunities. We would endure, some might
jest, a nuclear holocaust just to have our HDTV. Our stories of
surmounting the difficulties are folk heros tales for the kids
and grand kids.
Not everyone is
so enthralled with it, however. To those who are not yet sold on
HDTV any annoyance or complication or defect stresses them and
makes the experience darker, not lighter.
Christmas 2003
will be remembered as the watershed year for HDTV sales. HDTVs
reputation will be firmly established then. Its been around
long enough for the average consumer to think it must be finally
ready for prime time. There is ample programming. But there are
still wrinkles in the technology that could come back to haunt
usYeah, its good," you might hear or in-laws say, but not so
good that I want to waste a lot of time screwing with it.
There is also a
massive confusion among the great body of consumers who are
boggled by the options in new displays and the dizzying array of
formats. To some it is just too much work to make a decision
when the old standard is so easy. Many local TV operators give
little thought to their few digital viewers. Affiliate
broadcasters have been forget to through throw switches that
pass through the HDTV network feeds. They Published programming
information is nearly impossible to locate (except from HDTV
Magazine, of course).
Cable has done
more to advance HDTV programming knowledge and contribute to
simplicity than has anyone of late. This is wonderful for our
larger cities but HD sets will also be sold in regions where no
cable is available, or, if available, with no HDTV. These
communities will opt for a combination of satellite and
over-the-air services for their HDTV.
Entering the
mass market without full preparations carries unavoidable
consequences. Here is an example. Voom is a new satellite
service launched in November 2003 by the Dolan familys
Cablevision. Voom promises more HDTV programming some 39
channels -- than any other ground or satellite service today. In
their initial Sears offering they provide free installation of
the dish as well as an over-the-air antenna for picking up the
local DTV channels. The offering truly sounds great and I have
every belief it will become so if they survive. But one of my
East Coast customers called with a nightmarish tale that needs
to be retold as a warning to those who are too eager but
unprepared for mass marketing of these complex digital services.
The installation of the Voom satellite dish, he said, was
dragged out for three hours due to wrong coordinates given them
by Vooms technical support! That was dwarfed, however, by the 7
hours it took to get the over-the-air antenna installation to
receive anything. Those ten hours of frustration and expense
severely tried the patience of my caller and the installer
alike. Consider multiplying this scenario ten thousand times
during the Christmas season and you have the makings for a
public relations catastrophe. Word to the wise: We are not yet
across the river and any reversals in public attitude now could
cause anguish among HDTV supporters for years-to-come. To
overcome these digital bumps the end users must be entirely sold
on the value of HDTVbecome as the enthusiastic early adopters
instead of the skeptical and befuddled second and third
circle adopters that they are. Enthusiasm built from the
greatness of HDTV provides a much higher tolerance for the pain
that these difficulties must produce. A rough installation is
better to be made into an adventure story of heroic
proportions worthy to be shared with family, friends
and neighbors for years to come rather than it being given up
upon quickly by skeptics and called by them a
technical hornswaggle The reason we profit from knowing that
HDTV is social value--perhaps even a prime enabler for an
urgently needed new world vision--is so each can say they did
their part for this entirely noble cause rather than playing a
hapless victim of its shortcomings.

suddenly finds his world falling apart after he is blacklisted.
But when a car wreck leaves him with severe amnesia in a small
coastal town, a local man claims Peter is his long-missing

will change both forever. With Martin Landau, Laurie Holden, David

likable Lane Myer who just can't get anything to go right--he
loses drag races to a Chinese Howard Cosell impersonator, the
paper boy is stalking him for two dollars and he's forced to deal
with his slovenly schoolmate Ricky ("Gee, I'm real sorry your mom
blew up, Ricky"). Even his mother's experimental dinners get up
and walk off the plate! It's enough to make a guy consider ending
it all...unless he can use his talent on the slopes to be a winner
once and for all! David Ogden Stiers, Curtis Armstrong (in perhaps
his finest performance as Lane's buddy Charles De Mar), Diane
Franklin and Amanda Wyss co-star in this 1985 comedy classic.

and a gorgeous assassin. Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer, Sean
