Super Hi-Vision on the horizon...

That's just typical! I've just invested in an HD TV, after years waiting for the prices to tumble and my piggy bank to have sufficient funds, only to read recently that a new technology known as Super Hi-Vision is threatening to make high-def TV sets obselete. The BBC along with other Japanese broadcasters are currently testing the technology. 2012 appears to be the big target and as the new technology boasts a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 (33 times better than the best HDTV!) it will suit big displays.
Initial testing has shown that sitting to close to the screen can cause motion sickness, plus recording the massive amounts of data means that about 20 mins of footage can be recorded at a time. I'm sure that these problems will be resolved so watch this space! Don't you just love technology.....

I wouldn't worry Tim, your HDTV will more than likely have broken down by 2012 anyway (just minutes outside the extended warranty), so you'll be looking to replace by then.
