And, given time, as technology matures and the price of HDTV-sized-video 
encoders drop, we'll be able to capture via component after the cable 
box decodes the signal.  True, you'll have some generational loss, but 
it will be much better than the "NTSC" loss we get now.

Of course, this assumes that the lobbyists don't succeed in buying 
support for their plan to close the "analog hole."
