Well, there's most likely a reason for that, at least if it's in Target. My last two months with the company before I left to return to school I was running the Electronics department. We had a big reset and were given all these complicated instructions to set up the HD-TVs to the channel carrying the HD signal (Targets have a dedicated satellite signal running their in-house TV programs). Well, after doing all that, things didn't look any different so I checked into it and discovered that our HD channel was running the standard def signal. No difference. I checked with the other stores in the area and it turned up that they were in the same situation. So, all those fancy HD sets at Target? Plain old standard programming, at least as of October 2006. Cracked me up. After running the Electronics department in a 55 million dollar a year Target store, I
still have never actually seen an HD program. Irony…
