I don't understand why local news programmes cannot be upscaled from SD to HD at the transmitter - I appreciate the quality would be less than HD, but it would save viewers having to change channels (if felt necessary, information could be displayed on the screen to advise that the picture is not in true HD). I have had a DVD recorder for at least 3 years which upscales SD to HD when plugged into an HD TV with an HDMI connector, so the technology is available - and cheap. The results are slightly better than SD.
