Well this is confusing, and a google search uncovers lots of info, but although digital data throughput is measured in bits per second, HDTV or any digital TV broadcast is still said to use 'bandwidth' to express how much room is needed to deliver the signal. In japan the bandwidth needed to supply one channel is 20Mhz, but using compression in the USA they can fit one HDTV and two standard channels into a 6mhz feed, so there is a real range of figures.

Whichever way you look at it though, HDTV will use up a lot more room than existing digital broadcasts.
