I'd rather they used a large portion of the available bandwidth to
increase the bit rates of the existing freeview channels.


Where is that petition please?

I wouldn't bother - have you ever watched HD? The only difference is that
they use a better camera and intensify the colours and contrast more, then
use more close ups.
It's like watching the French football coverage, that has HD quality
compared to UK pictures! See for yourself next time.
How you can have HD on a poor quality LCD screen is anyone's guess. When
LCD is out of the way and SED and others are at the right price we might be
able to move on. LCD is crap with the smearing effects caused by slow
refresh rates. Companies stopped making LCD TVs last year anyway, all
you're buying now is the stockpiled surplus. That's why many STILL have a
25-30mS refresh rate on grey to grey, not even black to black as that would
be a higher figure, and no digital freeview tuner.
The public were conned over LCD. People only bought them because some have
to have the latest stuff no matter how overpriced or crap it is.
CRT is the way to go, it provides a far superior picture. SED is a flat CRT
technology. There are now other displays being used on camcorders and
laptops that use a new generation of LED. So watch out for those too.

No, they didn't. You are spouting utter nonsense. LCD technology continues
to improve, and has massive ongoing investment behind it. Your idea that
this is just some anti-consumer conspiracy is ridiculous.

No, it doesn't. It has plenty of flaws of its own.

SED is a flat CRT technology.

That's not how I would describe it. But how it works is irrelevant. What
matters is that you can't buy one, and may never be able to, or may only be
able to buy one at an enormous price. Time will tell. Toshiba have now
withdrawn from SED development, leaving Canon to go it alone.

There are now other displays being used on camcorders and laptops that use
a new generation of LED. So watch out for those too.

Yes, OLEDs or something else may be the future display technology of choice.
But not yet.

Big assumption. Modern LCD's running in HD look fantastic.

My LCDs show no such effects.

I've never seen picture on any CRT as good as my LCDs.
