Dec. 29: What's on HDTV today

By Kevin C. Tofel

What we're watching: "Clarisse....Clarisse...you do love HDTV, don't you,
Clarisse?" When you take a great movie like "Silence of the Lambs" and then add the high-definition aspect to it, you just can't pass it up. Well, maybe you can, but we can't. We're turning down all the lights in the house at 8:15 p.m. and heading over to HDNet Movies for a 1080i presentation of this 1991 award winning movie. This is another one of those flicks that help you check those contrast and brightness levels as some of the darker scenes push HDTVs to the limit.

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