I've got questions and concerns about HDTV's future. Right now, I pay a monthly fee for DirecTV. I pay an additional yearly fee for the NFL Sunday Ticket. I pay another monthly fee for HD on DirecTV (and get less than 10 channels). If I want HD (which I'm already paying for) with my NFL Sunday Ticket package (which I've already paid for), I have to pay an addittional yearly fee. In fact, I get local channels on DirecTV - but if I want them in HD, I have to pay extra.

The same goes for my Charter Communications channels. I can get an HD package for Charter's Basic Package (and again, there aren't many channels) but I'll have to pay extra to get the local channels also (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc).

Obviously I think this is BS. More importantly, come 2009 when we alledgedly roll over to nothing but HDTV, will we have to pay extra for various packages. If so, I'm not looking forwared to the conversion. Any thoughts on this subject?
