That is a really stupid way to look at this. If a channel with something as simple as weather-related programming is willing to upgrade itself to HD, then that only means higher-rated channels will be more inclined to make the switch as well. It's not like there's a humongous demand among Americans for channels and programming in HD (let's hope that changes in the near future), especially for channels like the Weather Channel, so it seems to me these programmers are making the changeover more on their own volition in anticipation of the future. Regardless, we should be applauding them for moving ahead towards the future to encourage further switchovers, not sighing and saying "we really don't care."

Not interested at all. I would rather see EVERY other channel in HD before this one.
