I doubt the prices for HD broadcast will be 2 times more than the normal ones........ as most people don't even own an HD TV nor do most know what HD means!
 
So does that mean we will need 2 TVs ???? A 29 inch crt for SD stuff and a 32-46 inch lcd for HD stuff??

Anyway there is talk of cricket and some news channels being broadcast in HD in near future.

How utterly useless !! Who the hell wants to watch NEWS in HD ?

Sports I can understand. While I wouldnt want to waste money watching cricket in HD, I would love to watch F1 in HD !! With good surround sound.
