No HD need to used more bandwidth.

thanks tv boy on the eurosport HD.
On HD yes agree there are 4 times the bandwidth but once you have that channel broadcasting in HD if you could piggy the standard non hd viewers to the hd channel imstead needing the second one for those who dont have HD it frees a non hd channel to broadcast something else.
With current system once we do start to see HD coming through we are going to have 2 channels both with the same content one for HD another for non HD. It will stretch bandwidth even more unless they can do all share HD channels. It might be impossible to do not too hot in technical workings of broadcasting if it cant vigin will end up with 2 broadcasting systems HD & digital both will need bandwidth and not too disimilar today with analogue & digital.
