It's coming. Won't be long until HD is the standard. Some interesting figures from Ofcom:

73% of UK homes have a HD TV. Those figures where published at the beginning of 2013. I'm sure I read something recently which confirmed we are now sitting at about 76% homes HD ready. 3% growth in just 8 months.

Virtually all new TV's sold are HD ready. Give it another 3 to 5 years and almost every home will have a HD TV. For those who chose not to adopt HD, I'm sure some kind of SD Freeview service will linger on behind the scenes.
