Maybe when everyone had HD capable boxes they might just broadcast the hd version of a channel instead of both sd and hd (regional variations excepted unless available by then) and downscale it if connected by scart or not subscribed to hd. I know that the V+ box can do this as I used to watch bbchd on a crt tv and it said it was downscaling it so i'd imagine the other boxes would be capable of this too. This could make way for more channels in the future.
