*chuckle* That's unfair.

>From the view point of a consumer, I guess I never have seen lip-sync
since I switched from analog television to DVB-T :p. Note, I'm from
Germany, PAL is PAL, the video quality is good for analog and digital
receivers, but sync between audio and video became ridiculous since
Germany switched to digital.

OTOH I agree, that at least the cost factor for digital is something
positive. I can't maintain an analog home recording studio, but it's
possible to pay for digital gear and there is quasi nothing to maintain.
Just those SMPS from time to time need some capacitors or extreme exotic
resistors nobody has got on stock. Old power supplies were much more
durable and didn't pollute the mains.

But, without digital technology I wouldn't have a home recording studio
anymore.

I'm quiet now ;).
