I appreciate that some people would have to upgrade their TVs, but have you seen the prices of basic HD TVs these days, they're dirt cheap!
I honestly can't see a downside to this suggestion, but appreciate that others may have a different point of view and if so would be interested to hear it.
I think all channels should be in SD and HD I watch a lot in HD Virgin should split there packages into SD and HD so you have a choice
