You could say the same about analogue TV. Doesn't make 525/60 NTSC better
than 625/50 PAL, though. ;-)

(Nor worse, though it sometimes was.)

Analog TV, what's that? ;-)

AFAIK, we haven't had analog TV broadcast anywhere in the US since June
2009. I know that in theory, US broadcasters have into 2015 to make the
switch, but in reality the switchover was highly pervasive on the first day
possible, not the last.


Another difference between us! Here the analog was/is kept broadcast
until the day of switchover (which is happening region by region, with
the last few regions happening this 2012 year).

But you've got to remember that this is the country that kept 405-line
going for, I think, longer after 625 started than it had been going
before that. (And in Eire - who also kept it going almost as long - the
last few years of 405 were generated in a rather endearing manner.)
