In case that has confused more people that it helped; think of the basic logic we learned as kids:
- All chickens have feathers.
- This creature has feathers; therefore it must be a chicken.
We know that is flawed logic, because many other animals have feathers. Now substitute "HD" for "chicken."

Supposedly all channels on my Bell sat are broadcast in digital but some have lousy pictures because the cameras used and the signal Bell gets is analogue. If everything is high quality digital from start to finish, the picture still should be pretty good even if not HD.
Understood, I've heard certain stations such as PBS divide their signal so that they can broadcast more than one channel during the daytime, say for kids shows as they won't notice whether it's HD or not. I think once regular OTA digital stations start, they'll use HD in primetime, just to compete.
