Korea Rising ... I'm shopping to replace a dead Panasonic DVD player, and a Samsung DVD/VHS recorder has risen to the top of the heap.

However, now that China's own digital TV standard is close to finished, authorities here are giving it priority, threatening the viability of European-invented DVB-H and DAB-based T-DMB.
