Want HD DVD to gain more studio support? Sign these petitions

Petitions can be a very powerful tool. If enough of the target audience signs one, things can happen. That is exactly what some people are trying to do with these following petitions. They are designed to show studios that they want to view their libraries of titles on HD DVDs. If these reach enough people, they might just do the trick. We do have to note that HDBeat is not taking any specific side on this war though (I have however), but if this is your kind of thing, you might want to go sign your John Hancock - digitally that is.

Chattanooga gets its Super Bowl in HD!

We mentioned earlier that a few
Comcast subscribers in Tennessee had a petition asking for an agreement between WTVC and the cable provider to get the
Super Bowl in high definition on cable. Now it appears they will get what they're asking for; the two companies have
worked out a one year agreement that will get service on in time for the game.No mention as to whether or not the petition had an effect, but the people have definitely spoken.
