Most of the cable networks are still not even broadcasting, shooting, HD. And beside the end user, you have to take into account the expense of equipment that is needed to shoot, edit, color correct, sound mix, online, etc..
Now, there may be some B.S. type upgrade, like a broader scanning module, etc. But the foundation is going to be around for quite some time.

I didn't necessarily mean that a higher-def format is right around the corner (although it probably is). I just don't think the transport medium will be a blu-ray disc 20 years (hell, even 10 years) from now. More likely it will be a different medium, such as downloaded directly to the TV, etc.
