Human beings are very tolerant. We've had VHS and DVD for a long time now, both are inferior A/V media compared to HD and I'm sure something will come along that makes HD look equally bad.

It's already here, it's called Super Definition, it will have a resolution equal to or better than a 35mm negative. A single stream of video would probably take up most of your cable bandwith, with audio you should be able to get 1 channel. Just think of the money you'll have on remotes.
Human beings aren't tolerant, North Americans are. Japan has had HDTV for over 20 years.
