There isn't much for FTA HD broadcasts. Part of the reason is a lack of hardware; plus the fact that most broadcasters are encrypting the signal.

The problem with compression has more to do with joe average not realizing there's a difference between quality and quantity. Shaw for example added a few HD channels without adding any bandwidth. Guess what happens to the PQ when that happens.
