For the people stating that HD content looks better even on sd-tv's. That can be true, yet it's like sattelite vs cable: if you switch between twice the same channel you can indeed notice that it is sharper and brighter (and delayed) but we did a test afterwards in witch we had to guess if we were watching the one of the other: you just can't tell the difference.
It's like having a photo printed by two firms: you will always notice a difference when you compare them but you just can't tell what firm printed it by just looking at one picture.

I think that's more to do with the quality of transmission rather than picture resolution.  

The advantage of HD is the extra resolution, but on an SD TV, it's useless.  A standard NTSC TV has 480 scan lines, and that is the maximum it will EVER display – no matter what you feed it.  Playing an HD movie will not magically increase the resolution of the TV.
