HDTV: Content is playing catch-up

If you get a high-definition television this holiday season, don't be surprised if the picture doesn't look as good in your living room as it did on the showroom floor. High-definition sets have been on the market for about a decade now, and most of the major over-the-air and cable networks can now broadcast in high definition. But a lot of movies, television channels and programs are still in standard-definition. The number of movies and TV programs available in higher-resolution formats is increasing, but the particular show or film you want to watch may not yet be available.
