I hope all this settles before my current TV dies. I hate format wars, I always bet wrong.

“....I hate format wars, I always bet wrong.”
********************
I’m 50/50 on my format betting. I “won” with Blu-ray.

But I’m with you, I’ll sit this one out until the dust settles.

The article states why you don’t have to worry about this format war.

I’m a broadcast television engineer. I knew with out a shadow of a doubt that Beta was the way to go. But it was MARKETING that decided that one, VHS meaning “Video Home System.”

Betamax became Beta, then Beta SP, then Digital Betacam, then Beta SX, all of them used in every broadcast facility worth its weight in videotape.
