Most people are "used to it", as they don't know better. A simple test: Try the same movie as NTSC and PAL versions. Most likely you will notice the difference. (and the PAL version will be 5 minutes shorter).
I find it amusing, that a lot of people have very expensive home theater systems with expensive loudspeakers and they don't care, that every DVD they watch has a wrong pitch. 4% should be quite a lot for a "High End" freak.

Indeed! That's why blacklisted players will always play normal TV resolution. I bet, that most people won't even notice, if HD playback has been disabled on their player...
