The problem is they need to keep broadcasting a signal that is "compatible" with TV's people own, and probably very hard to make a "new" standard - for instance imagine changing American roads to accept the European standard of driving on the left hand side (or vice-versa)! It's one thing to improve the roads and vehicles, but quite another to change the standards.. still I hope in a few more years Pal and Ntsc will be a thing of the past.
