    Maybe he should ask NASCAR or IRL for technical assistance?

    Formula None.

    Just about every major sports event in the US is HD.

    Hey, Bernie. It's 2010 already.

    Bummer. Then again our cable provider would probably screw it up anyway:

    There are now many programs in HD but they are still broadcasting them in the old 4:3 aspect ratio. It looks better but still leaves a lot of black on either side. :(

    History and Discovery channels are about the only ones who are broadcasting in HD AND the correct aspect ratio.

    The Beeb can manage it so don't see why other broadcasters can't.

    Aside from the US based racing, wonder if anyone has pointed out to Bernie that Moto Gp is now in HD! Ridiculous...

    Bernie won't spend the bucks until he has to.
    A couple of years ago he could have charged a premium for HD. Soon he'll be forced to offer it for free.
    Missed that boat Bernie.

    Did you catch the Figure 8 School Bus Nationals in HD ?
    Awesome !
    You could see the tobacco juice flying from one bus to the other.
    F1 is just for fancy pants.

    What does SPEED do then, just blow it up to 16:9? I remember when SPEED was not in HD and now that SPEED HD is here at least it looks better, though apparently not HD.
