Possible a limitation to the technologies currently inbedded in the Mexican
origin of this particular race. Not everyone is jumping onto the HDTV wagon
just yet.

ALL HD is 16:9 widescreen.

HD can and is being broadcast in many different aspect ratios other than
specifically 1080I. Seems that the FCC specifications do not specify that
they actually have to be 1080 but can be any one of the other formats as
long as they are digital HD.<

1080i *is* HD. You said that all HD are widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio),
which is NOT always the case, as ABCHD, CBSHD, and others have proven.
This means that you are wrong! :-)

In other words, not all HD are widescreen.

It proves nothing. All HD signals are "broadcast" in 16:9 format.
I have a large computer monitor that displays 1200 lines. Which is the
lines of resolution it displays. IT is not HD because it doesn't
receive TV signals. It can display it however.

If you look up an HDTV FAQ somewhere, or go to the FCC definition of
HDTV, or even go to ABC's HDTV FAQ you will see that for it to be
HDTV, it is always "broadcast" in 16:9 format.
If you see a picture that fills a 4:3 screen "naturally" then it is
NOT HDTV. It does not matter if it's on the ABC HD channel, it is not
HD.
