The point being, customers tell you what they want, and then you get that to them. You do not push on them what they do not want.

This is not about pushing new products, but development in an existing product. Tubes are older and established "culture". True HD is still at innovative level (therefor the
potential), and it is not really about what people want, but what their investments in technology
can do. Even users at places like YouTube welcomed their "HD", even if it is not
true HD, didn't they? If, and when most, people have 100Mbit lines, 1080 screens - and creditcards, then they already asked for it.
I communicate with surfers myself, and some of them say that a paysite offering HD, and it's not really
true HD, they are disappointed... sure, why not surf tubes instead then?? If you can't deliver what you promise, you will not gain much. You can't win by consider yourself beaten. Or "adapt". As I said, the tubes are well established, but if you want to compete, you need to think forward. Not at the past. You need to look at the potential. Hell, if you even deliver something like live shows with true HD, you have something that costly tube sites never can offer...
