I heard all this before about HD. Let me tell you a story. Five years ago I shot a site in HD. I did the whole thing in a month. Three months later it was paid for. That site is still updating and its only expenses are bandwidth. It will probably last another five years repurposed. Now, its not exactly the duration of Citizen Kane, but it has made me a shitpot of money. Had I shot 4 X 3 like everyone back then said was all that was needed, I would be in the shitcan with that site and it would have been a costly error.
Those broadcast channels are on a whole other playing field. They are large screen formats and I will bet you there are production companies out there that supply those channels that are covering their asses and shooting 3d but you might not see it for years. A lot of broadcast "experts" fucked up by not shooting at least 16 X 9.
Not everyone is on the ball.
BTW, I haven't committed to this yet, but the clock may be ticking.
Tony, what sites do you film for?
