HDNet to Show Pope's Funeral In HD

HDNet said that it will cover the funeral of Pope John Paul II in high-def as part of its World Report news series. "Honoring the Pope's Life and Legacy" will air Wednesday night at 9:45pm EDT and "The Funeral of Pope John Paul II" will be broadcast Sunday at 8pm EDT and 11pm EDT. HDNet appears to be the only news organization with plans to show the funeral in HD, which given the backdrop of St. Peter's Basilica and the throngs of crowds, will no doubt look amazing in high-def.
