Ah, but the evening news would almost certainly be trid.
So in the mp discussion, that would probably take up much more space than a
simple video recording.
For that matter, (and correct me if I'm talking rubbish here), it seems
reasonable to assume that technology capable of producing trid and simsense
would also be capable of running video on a trid machine, possibly converting
it, at the time, so I don't think scan lines would come into it since there
would be (I guess) 3 lasers doing what the electron gun basically does now.
