The British standard is much better than the North American one and gives a 
much better picture.  All you have to do is look at TV in England and 
remember how poor it is in NA.  I used to design cable TV networks for 
thousands of users and it always amazed me how the Americans would accept 
such poor quality.  It took a decade for NA to develop a TV set to match 
the Brit ones
