I think that is based off the all American TV going to HDD that is

it became too late. )

This is not accurate. In 2009 the US is terminating analog (NTSC) 
transmission of 'over the air' broadcasts. It has nothing to do with 
'high definition' broadcasts. OTA broadcasts will just be done using 
ATSC, rather than NTSC. It will continue to provide SD programming.
