Don't get me wrong I deal with HDTV everyday and it is a whole lot better then 480I but there are some problems with it as well. (Today during the LA blackout we saw some shots in HD from KABC air 7 that were really the best I's ever watched from a chopper) I'm sure it will get better over time as the MPEG encoders are better now and a lot lower in cost. Very very few HDTV sets pick up their signal off air this could really end whats left of free tv in this country when we go digital. The same thing can be said why would a station have comercials on 24/7 but some do. Why would a station air old 3/4 tapes but some do. It just gets down to what makes the most money not always what is right. It's a 300+ channel world now and most folks pay for their TV. ABC is still doing their news plus channel in the LA market. There is even a new NFL HD channel for this fall and Discovery, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax ,Turner, ESPN, and there are more out there and in the works.
