Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Euro1080, a division of the former and now bankrupt Belgian TV services company Alfacam, broadcast HDTV channels to break the pan-European stalemate of "no HD broadcasts mean no HD TVs bought means no HD broadcasts ..." and kick-start HDTV interest in Europe. The HD1 channel was initially free-to-air and mainly comprised sporting, dramatic, musical and other cultural events broadcast with a multi-lingual soundtrack on a rolling schedule of 4 or 5 hours per day. Question: What "chicken or the egg" stalemate prompted Euro1080 to broadcast HDTV channels?
Output (English): "no HD broadcasts mean no HD TVs bought means no HD broadcasts ..."
