What's your favorite non-movie TV HD programming?
C.S.I. is just stunning. I find myself watching eps I have already seen just to see them in HD. That first pan through Vegas is amazing.
What channels do you like? Smithsonian, Discovery, Biography... ? What kind of programming are you watching in HD?

Lost looks absolutely stunning in HD, plus it's a kickass show.
Outside of Discovery though, I sadly don't get many cable channels in HD yet.

Given that everything I watch, outside of Scrubs, is in HD it's hard to choose. Lost looks phenomenal though. Heroes is up there too. I'm not a fan of Letterman, but his show looks amazing in HD compared to Leno. On the other hand the CW's feed of Smallville is always has pixilation issues for me.

Lost is great, although I actually preferred the S1 DVD's upconverted to the S2 HD broadcast (was watching both around the same time). I think the HD broadcasts from ABC have gotten better over the past couple seasons. Could be a provider thing too.
The Unit has always looked great in HD. Great sound too.

+1 on Lost and Pushing Daisies. The latter is a show that demands to be watched in HD. I mistakenly recorded the Standard-Def feed one week and it was a pale shadow of the HD experience. Even my wife, who usually can't tell the difference between an EP-speed VHS tape and 1080p HDTV, commented that she couldn't believe it was the same show.
A series that rarely gets a lot of attention is Reaper. The VFX can be pretty dodgy, but the show has consistently nice picture quality in all other respects.
