The problem isn't with the broadcast stations, its with the manufacturers and their pricing. They are literally pricing themselves out of the market. Broadcast and Cable station aren't going to change their broadcast to fit HDTV stations when a fraction of their viewing audeince have them. Their revenues will plummet.

I know of a lot of people who have the kind of money needed to purchase a high end TV, but refuse to because they simply don't want to spend a lot of money on a TV set. Once the prices come down, you'll see more HDTV stations catch on.
