A few things I think we in the tech community don't take into account...we're all hardcore HD nuts... we can spot the difference between SD and HD in like 5 seconds of footage. The general populous can look at a DVD or even an SD signal playing in 16x9 and swear that it's HD.
The other problem is the way that the channels are arranged. I've set up people's HDTVs in a few homes and in several different cable providers, the channels are usually in the 100's. (In NYC, Time Warner HD channels start at 100.) The cable providers have generally done a poor job of informing users about their HD options.
