As I understand it, which isn't perfect by any stretch, it is a bandwidth/CRTC issue. Either they allocate more resources to their HD TV and take away from things like internet speeds or they limit their HD channels

Personally I have never had a show that I wanted in HD that wasn't ,other than some sports, so I really would rather them keep or improve my internet speeds and reliability than add in 40 channels of crap I will never watch.

Ask Telus TV customers how they like having their TV on cuts into their bandwidth. I would bet that those who need the increase speeds, ie not grandma checking her email, really dislike it.
