Broadcast stations will be forced to broadcast in digital, but not
necessarily in HD. 4:3 programming broadcast digitally can look
quite good. I've seen SD digital on some stations that looked as
good as another station's HD, especially those with two sub-channels.
I'd watch AR in SD before much of the crap I see in HD.
