15th Asian Games prep for HDTV broadcast

While the Olympics and World Cup have done the HD broadcast thing, in a couple months the 15th Asian Games from Doha, Qatar will be the first ones broadcast in HDTV. According to the host broadcaster they expect to have high definition coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as athletics, swimming and gymnastics. No word on what channel (if any) will carry the games in the US beginning December 1; but with South Africa preparing for the World Cup and China continuing to roll out HD in preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics we don't have to worry about high-def being an afterthought anymore.
