This has been happening in the UK for a while. We've had digital TV (terrestrial, satalite and cable) since '97, but are only just getting HD. Our digital transmisions are in 720x576, but to save bandwidth quite a few channels shave off pixels but keep the aspect ratio. Channel 4 usually broadcast in 704x576, and I think some of the Sky and shopping channels are lower than that.
