Quality television

The number of American homes with a television has fallen. Partly because people could not afford – or chose not – to switch over to digital (a warning here for the proposed switch of UK radio) & partly because more people now watch on a variety of online devices.

With this goes an acceptance of lower quality of image. The advantages including a wider range of archive or amateur offerings on sites such as YouTube, webcams & phone cameras, & being able to watch while on the move.

Just like the acceptance of lower quality sound in music – one in the eye for cd & engineers who think quality comes first, before content if necessary
