High Definition TV Starts Slowly

"Armin Schoenfelder would love to buy a television set that is ready for high definition broadcasts but the German engineer wants to spend no more than 900 euros, while the sets start at twice his budget. "Sure I'm interested, but I'm looking at the prices," the 68-year-old said as he browsed at the Saturn electronics store in Frankfurt. Salesman Mathias Kerscher, 25, is not convinced about high definition television (HDTV) yet, because no German channel is broadcasting in the high-quality format yet. "Until there's a better signal, I don't see any point," he said."
Kind of puts our "problems" here in the United States in perspective. I'm quite unhappy with the HD content available, but at least we have even a little bit. The story keeps repeatings itself over and over again, you must have content as the hardware becomes available as most people don't want to spend the money on something they can't use.
