I agree that the transition will likely be delayed, but I disagree that HDTV
will not catch on.  Americans like new technology and these things often move
faster than we think.  (i.e. VCRs, satellitte TV, the Internet)  I also think
the prices of sets will drop pretty quickly.  (see VCRs, computers)
