Be Aware - Not All Sports Available in HD

Unfortunately, just because you pay for HD service doesn't mean you will always be able to watch your favorite teams in HD. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, Why You Can't See the Game in HDTV, many nationally televised sporting events are not broadcast in high definition. To prove the point, the author of the WSJ article wrote that only 18 of the St. Louis Cardinal's games were broadcast in HD - out of their 110-game season. While this might not be true with all teams, it is definitely something to keep in mind when you are thinking about investing in HD.

So, if you are a sports fan about to make the HDTV plunge, you should first check to ensure that your team's games are broadcast in HD. To read more about his story, check out the WSJ.
