These standard definition channels are appropriate for people without an HDTV, but you don't need to see them. The last thing you want is to be required to flip through all of these unnecessary channels to find their high-definition equivalents. The same is true in reverse. If you don't have an HDTV, you'd rather see just the standard definition channels. You can disable the duplicate channels on your remote.
