Elaborate please. I thought some cable companies were already sending
HDTV signal. I see ads all the time for some satellite provider saying 
all of their channels are in HDTV format (I've got a box of salt handy
for that claim), as opposed to their cable competitors who only provide
a few channels in HDTV. I'm not sure what all the hubbub is about anyway.
It's not like the human eye has that kind of resolution where it's going
to amount to a hill of beans.
