That's nice and all, but they still need to fix their power supplies in their TVs, that alone needs work the most, since apparently the people at Samsung still think it's a mystery that these parts go out, and think that you don't know what the hell you are talking about, but we know differently, don't we?

I like this idea, it reminds me of the movie "Back to the Future".

I can also see others making live x-rated movies with this, you might think it's odd, but come on there are some sicker people out there than me...haha

Can anyone hazard a guess at what kind of bandwidth would be required to take full benefit of HD viewing? I am assuming that the TV WILL include a high definition camera.

In almost all cases ISPs throttle the upload speed to no more than 1/4th of the download speed !
