Once you have HDTV, you will never want to go back to standard broadcasts. The experience is similiar to going from 56K dialup, to always on cable modem.
Last years and this years Superbowl were both in HD, it was excellent. NBC is broadcasting the Olympics in HD the day after the event and not in real time. Although seeing the whole ice rink during ice hockey is a sight to behold.
There will be more content, PBS is in the lead, CBS is a close second, ABC third, and NBC is still clueless. As for DirectTV HD, save your money and wait for more channels or use DVD's.
