At which point HD becomes part of the service. My 40 channels of HD are just part of the service. No additional cost. I can have a standard SA box that looks exactly the same as the SD box but has an HDMI port on the back as well or I can may $10 a month for the DVR box (and they provide SD and HD DVR boxes).
MP2 HD is not the constraint you guys all seem to think it is, yes it is not as efficient but my cable connection has up to 30MB BB (soon to be 50MB) 40Channels of HD and however many of SD and they run their telephone services over VOIP so that is more bandwidth use on the cable.
