Just flick between them using the LastCh button. It's easy to tell which is ahead, especially on the news channels that have a ticker.
I've just checked a few, and in every case the SD channel is ahead (7 seconds ahead in the case of Channel 4). I suspect the MPEG4 encoding processing delay is the biggest factor. ITV HD, which is still MPEG2 in my region, is only very slightly behind the SD version.

Maybe not entirely pointless. I recall a similar thread many years ago that was started by someone who was into real-time gambling. He liked analogue TV because it had the least delay.
