I get seven HDTV channels, and I must say, it is a little breathtaking when you see it. It has a resolution nearly as high as my monitor! Regular TV channels are a small window on my screen, but not HDTV. Unfortunately, I don't own a TV yet, but in the meantime, I'll watch it on my computer.

HDTV channels:

- Discovery HD
- ESPN HD (sport)
- HDNet (sport)
- HDNet movies
- HBO HDTV (movies
- Showtime HDTV (movies)
- PayPerView HDTV

Movies in HDTV is actually of better quality than a DVD.

Other channels air some programs in HDTV format, such as Enterprise on UPN. It will be a while yet for HDTV to become mainstream.

Good luck on your Euro channel.
