The article linked in the original post says that digital broadcasting is split into a number of 'multiplexes', and that at standard definition each multiplex can carry 4-6 channels. It goes on to say that a single HDTV broadcast would require an entire multiplex to itself. What this amounts to in bitrate terms I don't know, but comparitively the answer seems to be 'up to six times more than a standard-definition broadcast'.
