For #6, unless he's talking about MPEG4 local/regional HD channels he's on drugs, not going to happen.

Isn't it great how this guy always says what anyone one else can say with ease

TV Predictions kinda annoys me with his constant "who looks like crap in hd" schlock. Not to say this guy has more influence than he has, but he spends all this energy pointing out celebrity skin flaws when the HD is as sharp as we HD fans want it, and then tut-tuts when the programs go for a softer focus to hide these flaws (like GMA.)
