33 MegaPixel TV in 2015

psyph3r writes "The Japanese communications ministry is investing in a new broadcast display technology with NHK to launch a 33 million pixel, 24-point surround-sound broadcast standard by 2015. The standard will use a video data rate of 24Gbps and an audio data rate of 28Mbps. This must be surreal in person."

    I would love to, but my cable company won't sell me just Discovery Channel and Comedy Central. I'd need to purchase the extended cable package which, without even being digital, costs another $40/mo. Digital or HD feeds of the same push it up another boatload.
