:::I'm not a native English speaker, but for me, ''simulated'' sounds like ''staged'', and I don't think that you want to invoke this impression. As far as I can see, the article you quote deals with the problem of the quality of the images. And - in my opinion - a live telecast is still ''live'' even when the data format was changed somewhere in between. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 12:45, 3 December 2008 (EST)

::::To clarify, a ''simulcast'' is a broadcast taking place on radio and television at the same time, which would be done for major events like this. The term's fallen out of use because there are so many options for broadcasting an event today, but in the 1960's it was a big deal to simultaneously broadcast, or simulcast, an even like a concert or major news story on TV and radio as it happened.
::::A ''simulation'' is not genuine or real; being an imitation of the genuine article. What the Wired article describes is not a simulation, but a broadcast of the event that involved a conversion of video formats in the process where image quality was lost. I'd suggest replacing "a simulated broadcast" with "live, low-resolution video" to resolve the confusion. It also removes the redundant use of "broadcast". --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:00, 3 December 2008 (EST)
