In a new video posted at TVPredictions.com, Swanni says the networks are ignoring the high-def viewer this summer by scheduling a large dose of non-HD reality fare. And the only way for the high-def owner to strike back is to boycott those shows, he says.
"They (the networks) are sending a message that fewer people watch TV in the summer so why bother with this high-def thing," Swanni says. "But you should send them a message by not watching their shows."
Swanni says HD viewers should watch the networks that support high-def year round by offering at least a majority of their lineup in HDTV during the summer months.
The high-def guru also blasted ESPN for not airing last night's annual ESPY Awards in high-def and he criticized NBC and ESPN for not airing this month's Wimbledon tournament in HD.
