I just cannot wait to get Hi-Def TV now that there seems to be enough content to justify the cost, which is getting almost cheap enough for the late adopter of home technology.
at the top it says Walk the Line is on Showtime at 9, but in the listings it says it's on HBO.
Mark,
No, it's on HBO. BTW the sound alone is worthly of an oscar (even if your not a counrty-western fan).

Didn't Gilmore Girls premiere last week?
And isn't One Tree Hill on as well?
ok watched Friday Night Lights for about 30 mins last night: 1# i hate the shakey camera thing they got going on 2# it never switched to HD, tv was tuned to HDNBC it advertised that it was in HD but never switched to HD, switched the channel to ABC sure enough dancing with the stars was in HD. Did any one else have this problem. I turned FNL off after 30mins.
