The terrible thing is that they should have planned bringing in HDTV (as well as widescreen content) with CAS instead of just applying 10 year old technology.But it seems that perhaps the people in charge are not so abreast with technology. Plus, there really is no incentive to upgrade here - people are not going to start watching more saas-bahu programs if they go HD. (Plus god save us if those serials with their atrocious audio mixing ever go 5.1 or 7.1 surround!!! 😀)Save legislative measures on part of the parliament and TRAI, I really don't think HDTV is going to come here ever. We are still stuck on VCDs, and for good or for worse, money reigns over quality ever time here.
