There is also a technical reason in that you need a more powerful processor and more DRAM to decode a higher resolution image. Also maybe the royalties are higher on the technology behind HD.That said, you can buy dedicated HD boxes for DVB-T reception (using H.264 image coding sent over a normal DVB-T transmission) in France for between 50€ and 100€, so the HD part isn't adding more than 30 or 40 euros to the price of a standard definition DVB receiver.</blockquote>
