I love this quote!

However, Playboy TV president Jim English sounded a note of caution last summer when asked if adult films would fare well on HDTV.

"A lot of the girls are not that pretty. You can only do so much with hair and make-up," English said in an interview with TVPredictions.com. "HDTV is perfect for National Geographic and the National Football League where you don't expect people to be pretty. But adult films are all about the close-up. With surgeries and implants, I don't know if you want to see everything in HDTV."
:shocked
 
so that's why all these HD rear-projection sets have protective screens.
 
Wouldn't they be better off using the bandwidth for Starz And/or Cinemax. I'm all for more Por... Uh, adult programming, but, really don't see the need for HD.

Oh, Wait - PPV -> $$$ (I bet they're not paying anything upfront).
 
Adult programming brings in some nice revenues for the satellite companies. I would expect Dish Network to follow through with an Adult HD channel as well. I wonder if they are going to have one for a monthly charge instead of PPV.

They will probably end up filming differently than they do now if some of the Adult stars are not so pretty on HD cameras. They may also get a bit pickier with who they choose to be in the movies which means they would have to be younger or better looking so it couldnt be that much worse after all.
 
"The format's incredible picture is so life-like that it's been compared to looking through a window..."

LOL!!! Ain't technological breakthroughs wunnerful! Pay $14.99 to avoid getting nabbed on a voyeurism charge looking at the neighbor's wife through a window.
 
Why should they charge a premium for what may appear to be not so good looking actors? Hopefully they will have it available monthly as well.
 
Some of them might require rose colored glasses
