Even if all the SD broadcasts were closed they would have to find a lot more bandwidth to provide a HD only service. The US have had HD for 8 years and are nowhere near getting rid of SD, it will be quite some way off yet.

There are shed loads of channels particularly on Sky that don't even broadcast in widescreen yet let alone HD.
