Up early on a Sunday? Take a minute to check out the first edition of
CBS News Sunday Morning broadcast in high definition, as Charles Osgood anchors the annual "By Design" episode. That means your HDTV will see lots of home tours, a peek into the UCLA Medical Center checking out doctors that are remaking disfigured faces and a report on how retirement is changing for more active elders. Us? We're going back to sleep, two NBA Game 7's and the start of the NHL conference finals make this day a marathon, not a sprint.

CBS is kicking up the competition in online streaming, now offering some full episodes in up to 1080p resolution in its HD gallery on
CBS.com and TV.com. There's no doubt that's a major shot across the bow at
Hulu, which offers only 720p in its limited HD Gallery, but when we tried it out though the picture remained sharp even blown up to full screen, the jittery framerate of the Flash video made it clear we weren't watching a Blu-ray disc or even broadcast HDTV. Check it out yourself and see how it runs, all the
CSI's,
How I Met Your Mother and more are up in "full high definition."
