I agree i dot think there is no need for GOLD HD. YEs more HD channels would be greate but why create a HD channel where only about 5-10% of it will be actaull HD. Seems a waste of bandwith and that could be used for better HD channels

Do HD channels use the same amount of bandwidth, even when they aren't broadcasting in HD

HD channels always broadcast in HD.
If the show isn't a HD show it is upscaled as being shown on a HD channel.

Could that be an inside joke for the Universal Channel HD launching soon?
