Some "digital" features are allready available. Sony has a new set out with greatly improved definition -horizontally by more receiver bandwidth, vertically by interpolated scanning lines - or so I've read somewhere. They also have a new tube with smaller pixcels. Wider bandwidth (but compatible) VCR's are due out in the fall, also from Sony (of course) says Video magazine. Video says that VHS may not be able to match Sony's 20 % increase in definition on tape. I'll believe that when it happens. Back on the subject of waiting, it will be forever if you want to wait forthe new digital features. New ones will be continually invented. Pick a time and plunge. A good time is when your old set craps out. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
