I think the point Richard was making though is that once most of the STBs are HD capable (which will probably happen as older STBs are decommissioned and replaced with HD boxes) it won't matter if people have HDTVs as they'll be able to watch the HD channels downscaled by their STBs, rendering the SD channels surplus to requirements.
