You do get HD, don't you?

Please tell us you're not a statistic. Apparently, the folks over at Scientific Atlanta did a little survey on HDTV programming and the results made us feel like we were watching CSI in standard-def (Disclaimer: viewing CSI in standard def is not recommended, nor do we take any responsibility for any damage to your eyes caused by watching CSI in SD).

According to the survey, only a third of HDTV owners are actually watching high-definition programming. *gasp* Here's the even scarier fact (please be sure to sit down before reading any further): Another third of HDTV owners think they're watching high-def programming when they're actually not.

In fairness, some folks just don't have access to HD signals either due to location or budget. We get
that part, it's the "we thought we were watching HDTV" that we don't get. C'mon folks: can people really not tell the difference? We haven't met anyone yet whose eyes didn't pop during their first HDTV
experience. Do you know anyone who can't tell the difference?
