It might be at the moment but in the US, HDTV is the standard that WILL have to be adopted by all members of the public.

Of course over here in the UK, a different digital standard, which allowed a lot of channels to be broadcast, was adopted.

HDTV uses more digital bandwith (so fewer channels) then this so if in the future the UK decides to adopt HDTV all Sky,Cable and Freeview box would have to be replaced. So at the moment HDTV in this country is a niche market.
