I have a dry-loop Verizon Biz DSL line for my small office. It costs $40 instead of $30 if I still had a voice line, but that saves me quite a bit. Voice lines come with all kinds of taxes and fcc charges.
I think the term he meant was visual angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle) which is how many degrees of your visual field the object you are looking at covers.
If you think of your retina as a piece of film, then a small screen at near distance can produce an equally "large" impression as a large screen viewed from farther away.
Of course there are very few 19" screens with a wide 16:9 or better aspect ratio.
Not to mention plasmas have 4x to 6x the contrast ratio because they aren't filtering out the backlight using crossed polarization filters. An LCD straight away wastes most of the light it produces.
Yes technically RS170A is the sum of the luminance and chrominance and since these are linear signals they sum without any loss of "information". However real world components including the use of separate DACs since this is coming from a digital source and better matched passive components should improve the SnR. I used to have a 36" analog tube and the quality difference for composite vs s-video was quite noticeable.
Its because the use a Xilinx FPGA. If they had their own ASIC and produced these in sufficiently prodigious quantities, they could be quite cheap. That battery might add a few bucks to the cost too.
I checked out my friend's MythTV. The commercial detection was acceptably mediocre for most stuff, but sucked horribly for cartoons like Simpsons or Family Guy.
Also, HD stuff was full of weird motion artifacts that didnt exist on the live stream, but it may have been too aggressively compressed.

I would pay $10 a month to go from my online tasks taking 30 min/day to 5min. Thats 12.5 hours a month, certainly worth $10.

And here I thought you didn't attract worms because you walk without rhythm.
