Although SD picture quality is much better than the conventional analog NTSC format, increased availability of HD content is necessary for a larger number of consumers to justify spending money on expensive digital television sets. Concerns among content providers are limiting the amount of HD programming that is being broadcasted, inhibiting greater consumer purchasing of DTV sets.

More of the kinda boring article.
I don't necessarily believe that digital TV will die b/c of HD. I know my provider in particular no longer offers analog for pay channels so once you get HBO on your ticket, you're graduated to digital television. They'll do fine for many years to come.
I will say that there is a very lame amount of HD channels available. But then again, there are way to many channels to begin with. I don' t need Noggin HD.
