Back in the 1960's there was a transition to color. I worked reasonably
well.
Today, there is a transition to HD (at least on some channels). It is not
working so well. When an HD channel plays some SD program, there are many
things it could do wrong. Often times this happens, such as playing it in
a stretched mode. I equate such an screw up as equivalent to the era of
the
color TV transition when stations "colorized" black and white programs
that
looked like they left a chroma subcarrier on unsyncronized. Fortunately
for
the color TV transition, the engineering department was in control of how
to
make things work. Today, management can't stand it when some geeky tech
person makes decisions (even when they are always right). So they have to
have control and make decisions. And they screw up.
