Simple! BBC1"HD" is still "switch to SD" for all regional News programs so, for example, if you watch BBC Breakfast in HD it entails swapping to the SD regional channel for the news or face a blank screen for 10 minutes i.e. switching to SD 6 times and back! No-one in their right mind would ever consider this so SD for the whole programme is the only sensible option.
I think it is absolutely shameful that this is acceptable given that ITV etc have easily accomplished this.
