That way channels just need to launch 1 channel not 2.
Channels can be downscaled. If you have an analogue output on an STB it is downscaling to provide that output (similar to ICT systems used in the DVD market). Channels usually launch in SD only due to cost. HD uses more bandwidth so costs the broadcaster more.
