Oct 4: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching:

I'm kicking off the MLB playoffs in high-def tonight, thanks to Fox and their 720p broadcast at 8:00 p.m. Game 1 features the New York Yankees at the California Angels. Can the Angels stop the Yankees or will the Yankees just run right through them like a subway train? Frankly, I don't care who wins. I just want to see details like the grass, dirt and stitches on the ball that you can only see in high-def!

After the jump is our traditional listing of HD programs throughout the night.
