BGnR and I are on the same wavelength here.
It's the story, stupid.
I'd rather keep my ReplayTVs and watch the story. Y'all can switch to HD DVRs and look at mountain sunsets and oooh and aahhhhh all you want. It's not about the picture.
Of course, I read quite a bit. I'm very comfortable in dealing with the story as opposed to the visual representation. It's my theory that HD is being driven by non-readers, while readers just don't care and never will.
A good story being shown on a very distant station, received through snow and other interference on an analog TV, will always be better than a bad story being delivered perfectly on a closed 1080p hi def/optical drive system.
