All true. To the OP, tonight watch a comedy or drama on prime time network. That will be true HD. Some of the reality and news shows are SD.
One of my local OTA NBC stations only runs HD during prime time and on the weekends via channel 20.1. Tune to the station before a game or program starts and you see 4x3 SD digital picture and right when the game or program starts the aspect and sound change to HD 16x9 with Dolby Digital.
If it doesnt say HD it probably isnt , but if it says hd , it might not be hd
Example tbs-hd, tnt-hd
I think the op is confused to the digital ota is hd,
and to the "HD" channels, which dont always show hd programming.
This is a fine example of how modern society has no realization of how everything is becoming too complicated for consumers.
Every little product and sub-product demands that you learn how to use it, and that you spend a lot of your time dealing with it.
For example, my ISP's mail server suddenly stopped allowing any "From:"
address other than the main one, unless you went through an elaborate procedure in their online web mail app to add that address.
So, I go to open the web mail, and I am beset with all sorts of "We have a new beta? Do you want to try that?" I say no. Then I get "You can now chat with our mail application. Do you want to do that?" I say no. Nonetheless, I get another dialog about the chat that I have to dismiss just to do this ten minute procedure to add and verify this alternate email address.
Just too f*ing complicated. Endlessly wasting my time, so they can keep their $120,000 per year web design job by changing something that works fine already.
Just imagine when everyone in China, India and Brazil raise their level of economy to the point where they waste your time as well. At that point, we'll be spending all day figuring out how to do the simplest things...

The OP isn't confused. When I am receiving a digital ota uhf channel, say 13.1 and the newscaster says it is being broadcast in HD I assume it is in HD (except for the offsite features and films from around the world).
