news from CES (?)

which reports I've been following -- very briefly -- online. The one thing that caught my attention, relating to home video, was announcement of new display standards supposedly "Four times better resolution than today's HDTV." But, new hardware requirements aside, how are we supposed to be viewing this, any time in the next couple years ? At the moment, I have DirecTV, which should be up there with any of its competitors, and they max out at 1080i. I think some of their VOD offerings -- which must fully download to your receiver's hard drive, before you can view it -- is at 1080p.

O.K., so where is the infrastructure for a resolution 4 X better than that ? (And maybe another good question is, "Would we really notice a significant difference, if this was being piped into our living rooms ?") These press releases make for great copy, but I'm thinking, 'Don't hold your breath.'
