I find myself watching PBS shows I'd never paid any attention to before, like Tracks Ahead and The Desert Speaks just to marvel at the quality of the images. The "Over" shows are incredible (Over America, etc)-filmed from helicopters using HDTV cameras. Watched one on Chicago the other night-you could easily imagine you were in the chopper, looking out at the Sears tower.

Football is flat out amazing-the playoff games on CBS last season had the most amazing PQ I've ever seen, bar none. Lots to choose from this season, too-Monday Night Football goes hi-def this year, and ESPN-HD will show the Sunday night games in HDTV as well.
