Somewhere around half (maybe more) of the network TV in the 8-11PM time frame is broadcast in HD, plus sports, but that may depend on the area and whether or not the stations have updated their broadcasting. I watch very little of it, because as you've noticed, it doesn't improve the content any. I think CBS and NBC are 1080i, anf Fox and ABC are 720p.

There must be a lot of compression and little consistency in the way the major networks distribute HD signals because I have yet to see a major network HD production that looks like HD. Its not even DVD (480i) image quality. The only true HD on ABC-NBC-CBS seems to be the local news. I wonder how long will it be before content catches up with the capability?
Only CBS in the DC area broadcasts local news in HD. I watched CSI last night, and it looked OK in HD, but not as good as local news. It will be a few years before the networks get serious about HD, there just isn't enough HD TVs out there yet .
