Aug. 6: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching and why:

Webs and weapons. That's the lineup tonight on HBO-HD. First, there's Spider Man 2 at 8 p.m., followed by The Governor and his Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines at 10:15 p.m. I haven't seen either one, so you're on your own tonight (though the links above to the Internet Movie Database should prove helpful).

Here are some other HDTV programs showing on selected networks today:

ABC: Bandits (8 p.m.)

CBS: Without a Trace (9 p.m.)

NBC: Law & Order: Trial by Jury (8 p.m.), Law & Order (9 p.m.), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (10 p.m.)

ESPN-HD: SportsCenter (11 p.m.)
