Tony,

People in the real world believe that to watch a TV program you have a
big black box, it sits in the corner of the room and belts out Jerry
Springer or Eastenders all day long! It's an uphill struggle just to get
a *lot* of people to see the benefits of a DVD player let alone
PC/TV/Audio/HC/Multi Room AV! Yes, once it is demonstrated properly they
*may* see the advantages but then is it worth the money that it would
cost them for their own personal needs?

I can just see my Mother watching Corry on a Fuji...NOT! There's a
perfectly good telly in the corner!

K.
