In regards to the HD camera on the news 9 helicopter..... The camera could be HD but what they show on tv is not. I have yet to see anything Channel 9 news broadcasts during their segments that is in HD. They are "downconverting" it to SD. A general rule of thumb on HD, if it has bars on the side it is not "real" HD. If you look real close you can see them "flip the switch" when a primetime tv show that is broadcast in HD is over before they go to the local news. Several news stations across the country have turned to HD local news casts. I believe one in Tulsa is currently in HD.
