What was the first HDTV show you ever saw?


Awe

HDTV Forum has a question about the first show ever broadcast in HDTV, which is a real stumper. While I look around for that one, I was thinking about the first show I ever saw in high-definition. You know, it's one of those "magic moments" in your life that you never forget, like the first time your rode a bicycle by yourself or the day you passed your driver's license exam.

For me, it was an NFL game although I don't remember the teams that were playing. I do remember just staring at the screen and telling other people, "It's actually clearer than being there! It's like I'm looking out a window and these guys are playing football right outside!"

What was your first HDTV experience? What did you watch and what do you remember?
