The iTunes store has had various fits and coughs over the last few years as content providers from the music, movie and television industry battled it out with Apple over delivery and pricing quibbles. However, the fall network TV season is now intact -- and in the full glory of high definition. All four of the major networks -- ABC, CBS, NBC and now FOX -- are offering prime time programs in high definition via iTunes downloads, Apple said. Most television shows that are broadcast in high definition are delivered in 720p, versus the even sharper 1080p.
Apple's HD is really just Middle-Def

I am interested in the Apple TV for my 1920x1080 pixel HiDef TV. Regarding this errant quote: "However,the fall network TV season is now intact -- and in the full glory of high definition."
No its not. Apple TV maxes out at 1280x720, a little better than DVD, but not HiDef(HD) which is 1080 lines. Apple's HD is really Middle-Def and should not be confused with 1080 HiDef.
