Many/most people buy HDTVs because of the size (and flatness). I don't think you can even get a 42" or larger Tv that isn't HD anymore. Most just want their 50" plasmas to hang on the wall to watch Football games. Some think just because they have an HDTV, they are automatically watching HD, regardless of source. The switchover only effects those who are getting OTA signal. cable folks aren't effected, and may not wish to pay extra for HD, or worse, think just because its digital, it is HD.

EDIT: You do realize, that the switch over mandates switching to digital, not necessarily HD.

...that most people believe the switch from analog to digital is a switch from non-HD to HD. Boy, are they going to be disappointed!

  So many assume Digital = HD.
  Most won't know the difference when the switchover happens.
