That's a question of taste - and how big your storage drives are. As I 
mentioned, to me (and the others in the family) the differences between SD and 
HD are sometimes hard to see. That may be because we tend to record mainly the 
BBC channels with the occasional channel 4, 5 and Film4 and I think the 
bandwidth (=quality) is good enough. HD was used for the Olympics, though.

For storage, HD ~= SD * 4. An hour of HD is about 8GB, despite the better 
encoding algorithm. I have 1TB of storage, you may have more.

I don't renumber the channels because we all know them anyway and renumbering 
would just confuse everybody. It was fun, though, when they recently renumbered 
the news channels.
