Of course, we should all buy smaller TVs so we can enjoy SDN/Arq A/Arq B content! Why didn't I think of that before?

Neither of those. It's simply that 544x576 is an abysmal resolution for widescreen content that should be banned from use.

I find 704 or 720x576 an acceptable SD viewing resolution in most cases.

Yeah, I'll just tear down the wall and extend the living room. I don't really need a kitchen anyway.

You don't need time to count the dots when it's plainly apparent in seconds that far too much detail is lost from the picture.

There's no need to do that. Just get some binoculars and turn them the wrong way around!
