That's not the same thing. Take a look at the HD TV shows and judge for yourself. I can see a much clearer distinction between the SD and HD movies on the AppleTV than I do on the SD and HD TV shows. @John

I have to disagree with you on this one. While "seeing a difference" is surely a subjective topic, I will still point you the authoritative treatise (complete with authoritative results!) at http://kruper.org/blog/archives/83 Hmm… I have to disagree with you on this one.

But, in regards to whether or not the extra $1 is worth it, I personally don't believe so, unless it is your favorite show and you can actually notice the difference. I will probably only purchase two season passes for the seasons coming up and that is for The Office and Lost, both will be purchased in HD. But, for everything else, if I miss an episode of any other TV show I'll probably just purchase the SD version.

Do you think the picture is brighter on the HD version. A key attribute of HD is luminance. What about sound quality? Do you think the picture is brighter on the HD version.
