These are your digital broadcast/disc formats in wide use, with non-ambiguous nomenclature.

Of course, of those, we really only need 720p60 for sports/news/action stuff, and 1080p for movie/entertainment stuff. Everything else is a weaker alternative.

your forgetting to include the near future 2K and 4K modes, shouldnt you be planning, or indeed already adding in these options today for testing etc, to be ready when the consumer kit arrives on mass from the far east OEMs etc,
the DVB org already demoed (PAL) 2K and 4K end to end transmission, Encoded with H.264 last year or perhaps the year before , i forget now.
