   	Hey, yeah, you're right.  I wonder if the screen came from   
   Late Night's crack team of researchers or if it was passed out by   
   NBC Universal Overlords as part of the press release package.  And if   
   it was from NBC Universal Overlords then why did they have the Duluth   
   Holiday Inn Express screen rather than, well, New York City or Los   
   Angeles?

   	Yeah, there's that too.  I think the New Satellite Channels   
   footage goes back to, like, five years before they even invented   
   digital television.  Is it possible they figure the ancient footage   
   is fine for the drop-down screen but unsuitable for being a full-   
   screen graphic for the HDTV folks?
