This is a pet subject of mine - when sky sports first broadcast in HD the picture quality was superb, on close ups of action you could see individual blades of grass.
Then someone decided it was acceptable to compress the transmission and over the years the PQ of HD transmissions has gradually decreased.
Additionally I believe (I may be wrong) that the current SD picture is a HD recording further compressed so is better than the original SD picture was - hence many people find there is little difference in PQ between HD and SD.
I would stress this opinion is based on my perception not on any fact (other than HD has been compressed more over the years - this is fact)
