I'm not sure that I agree. Blu-Ray is 1080p while the best broadcast television is only 1080i (Directv, HD)..
The leap in technology between VHS and Blu-Ray can not be compared even to the leap between B&W and Color.. The advancements that have come from this generation of TV/FILM has been outstanding.
Most of the cable networks are still not even broadcasting, shooting, HD. And beside the end user, you have to take into account the expense of equipment that is needed to shoot, edit, color correct, sound mix, online, etc..
Now, there may be some B.S. type upgrade, like a broader scanning module, etc. But the foundation is going to be around for quite some time.
