I wrote about "Ellen" being in high definition and now Oprah is as well. I can see the Oprah show on Channel 5 out of Boston, and Channel 13 out of Portland, Maine, both at 4:00 PM. Channel 5 has it in HD and Channel 13 does not.
It proves the power of the TV station. WCVB invested a lot of money to convert their broadcasting capabilities to full HD. Smaller stations like WGME in Portland don't have that kind of capital.
So again, if you had the choice to watch the same program in HD or not in HD, which would you watch? If I could only get TV stations to understand this concept and invest the money to go all the way with HD.
At least I have the ability to watch more and more TV in High Definition. TV station who don't keep up with the trends will just get lost in the shuffle.

I think that the stations don't want to spend money just yet because only 1/6 of all homes have one HD television, according to a report I read recently.
Actually, the number is more like 25% of American homes. The problem is that some of these home with an HDTV either don't know they have HD or don't know how to make it work.
