Nov.15: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching: This might be the first time I've said this here, but I won't be watching anything in high-def tonight for a very simple reason: the Country Music Association Awards show is only available in standard definition. Don't ask me why; musical performances are great high-def experiences when you bundle in 5.1 Surround Sound. The CMA's are filled with live stage performances, so shame on CBS!

Since I'm such a biased country-music fan, I'll leave it to you to pick your show tonight. If you're in a helpful mood, post a comment with your recommendation tonight. You won't sway me from my little two-step party, but you might convince some other folks!

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