Jan 2: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching:

If you don't mind watching a little high-def during dinner, consider a concert with your cuisine. RaveHD is featuring a 2003 concert in Digital Dolby Surround Sound and 1080i. "Peter Gabriel: Growing Up" takes the stage at 6 p.m. in this concert from Milan. Gabriel sings songs from his 2002 album as well as some of his classic hits over the past thirty years.

Once the lights come back up from Milan, make the jump to ABC at 9 p.m. for the Sugar Bowl. This game was moved from New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina's devastation and features an outstanding matchup. West Virginia at 10-1 on the season heads to Atlanta to tackle the 10-2 Georgia Bulldogs. The game actually starts at 8:30 p.m. so Mr. Gabriel is winding down early, cut up the middle for the 720p presentation.

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