Actually I do. Why don't you refute my points and that way I can refute

yours
instead of this becoming a ****ing contest.


First of all, your description ignores the compression systems used, and
treats digital TV more or less as if it is little more than a sequence of
digitized samples. It isn't.

I'm not sure why he makes a point about the lack of sync pulses, as their
lack is implicit in the way compressed video is stored and reconstituted.
