CBS to produce all NFL games in HD, but will you see them that way?

We'd never doubt our old friend Ken H at AVSForum and his magic 8-ball, so it's no surprise that when Sports Video Group interviewed the VP of engineering at CBS, he confirmed all of the network's NFL games this season will be produced in 1080i. Unfortunately, due to a lack of network capacity, it's possible that the late game of a double header could start out distributed in SD, before switching to a high definition feed later, and halftime highlights will be SD-only. Both of those situations will be resolved by the '09 season when CBS' NFL contract requires it go all-HD, all the time - as the last NFL-free weekend comes to a close, news that the suffering will soon end eases the pain...a little.[Via HD Sports Guide & AVSForum]
Or at least thats what the Sports Video Group's survey has
uncovered (big surprise, with that name I really doubt the result was going to be most people get high definition for
Discovery channel). The "Inside the mind of the HD sports fan" uncovered several statistics that will
probably surprise very few of you.
