Point is we are moving away from traditional broadcast technologies... just look at the "smart" Tv's. Internet connected etc brings an alternative mechanism to deliver ultraHD direct and bypass all the horrible technical challenges that OTA broadcast brings.


I personally do think HD is a lot better than SD especially on the size of TVs we have today (and I'm not someone who wants a 50" monster thing in the corner ). People also forget that HD also brings vastly improved sound quality as well as a better picture. So even if you have your eyes shut during last night of the proms it will be a better experience than SD especially if you pipe it through a decent stereo.
