That's a big if, though, Matth. Don't forget that there are a lot of people who cannot afford to get the best kit available, and many continue to rely on non-HD ready TVs.

Unless the EU are about to rule that it is everyone's human right to have an HD TV, I can't see much change happening on that front.
