" ESPN can't give you more info just because you have a HDTV. They would be alienating the non-HD owners. "
What if they put additional info in the extra space, more stats, etc....not info that couldn't be found online, or whatever. I wouldn't be so concerned about alienating non-HD users, doesn't that happen all the time anyway with the internet?
Did people bitch about being alienated when touch-tone phones first came out? I guess there was always an out though for that.. "to speak to an operator or if you have a rotary phone, please stay on the line"
Wait a second, who really (I mean REALLY) cares about news in HD? I would much rather have a cable company broadcast something a little more visually stunning than just a talking head.
