So I finally decided to rekindle my lifelong love-affair with Jeopardy, and tuned in last night on channel 505. When I watched this show at a friend's house in Chicago (Comcast) it was in widescreen HD.

However, when I tuned in last night in Milwaukee on CBS HD, it was in 4:3 and definitely not in HD (even though the logo said so). What gives? Is this yet another sign of CBS-58's distaste for all things HD? :(

Many Jeopardy affliates still do not have the proper equipment to show this in HD, even though it is made available to them in HD.  CH 58 is just one of them.  I have been in Fort Myers, Knoxville, & Palm Springs all in the last 3 months and none of them are showing Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune in HD even though they could if they have the proper equipment to do so.
