In the end, it's pretty simple. Standard definition feeds are meant to be viewed on standard defintion TV's, and HD feeds are meant to be viewed on HD TV's. This is the reason we are all clamoring for more HD channels. SD picture on a HDTV kinda sucks. You have to stretch because the aspect ratio is different and the bigger your TV, the more it has to be stretched and the worse it looks. No matter how expensive your flat screen is, it's not gonna look great with a SD picture on it. It's made for a 16x9 aspect ratio picture.
