I think it has less to do with the money and more to do with the content. Up until very recently there was very little "real" HD content out there. And what I mean about "real" HD content is first run popular shows, not syndicated reruns.
This is one of those chicken and the egg things. People don't want to buy an HD TV until there is content and content providers don't want to switch until there is an audience. Why do you think the FCC put a hard date out there in the first place. They knew if they didn't we would still have almost NO HD content.
Recently I feel we have turned a corner. DirectTV is leading the charge and providers are actively moving to provide content. Dish is moving to catch up and like always the cable companies will be the last to move.
