If I was in control of broadcasting, etc., I’d severely reduce the bitrate of the MPEG-2 simulcast channels, and put most of it into 3 x MPEG-4 HD channels.

I’d have:  
07: 7 SD -------------\> 3.0 mbps (MPEG-2)  
70: 7 HD ------------\> 4.0 mbps (MPEG-4)  
72: 7Two HD -----\> 3.5 mbps (MPEG-4)  
73: 7mate HD ----\> 3.8 mbps (MPEG-4)  
74: 7Two -----------\> 2.1 mbps (MPEG-2)  
75: 7mate ----------\> 2.1 mbps (MPEG-2)  
76: 7flix -------------\> 2.4 mbps (MPEG-2)  
78: [Racing.com](http://Racing.com) → 1.1 mbps (MPEG-4)

Obviously, the MPEG-2 channels wouldn’t look fantastic, but that would hopefully encourage more people to utilise the HD channels.
