I just switched STB output to16:9 widescreen (after seeing comments on another thread) and was startled how good News 24 looked in wide via HC.

Granted I've had a couple of glasses of wine and the shots were studio ones (so quite static) but the quality was DEFINATELY not as bad as some of the lower bandwidth chanels on Sky.

I've noticed that certain things are worse that others but that is probably a facet of the video encoding and seems to have similar affects on other digitial platforms.. For instance films with lots of dark can be a little less clear than you'd like (but again, Sky channels can do just as bad sometimes).
