Re: A standard dating back to 1987?

I still contest that a WinTV card plugged into a decent aerial put onto a computer (via the old purple-overlay-on-screen-with-a-cable-passthrough trick) was some of the best quality TV images I'd ever seen. I was enjoying full-screen, smoothed-but-sharpened progressive-and-deinterlaced TV at HD res long before HD was a thing.

Hell, teletext was also a dream - it cached EVERY page of teletext on the entire channel, so you literally clicked around it on the three-digit page numbers like hyperlinks.
