steven,

So your best guess, based on current examples, would be that a hypothetical BBC 1 HD would be a completely HD delivered channel, but some of that content would be upconverted SD, some proper HD. Effectively as a consumer I see only one channel.


If so, and I think this is an important point - would Sky HD therefore offer potentially much better SD programming that what we currently get? i.e. less artifacting etc?

I'm still hoping they will, though i'm a chronic pessimistic, so i'm kinda not raising my expectations too high.

I would hope that Sky don't tinker with the bitrate of their new HD channels and leave upconverted SD material running at full resolution - otherwise what's the point of spending all that dosh on new broadcast playout equipment etc. We shall see soon enough....
