No HD US Open on Sky?

What exactly is "upscaled SD"? Higher bitrate?

It does have a higher bitrate, but the upscaling part means it is
transmitted at 1080i rather then the 576i of SD (which it originates
in).


I think that's a bit of a con as, if it's on one of the SSHD channels,
most people would assume (unless they could tell otherwise) that it is
true HD - the symbols on the EPG aren't obvious to everyone. I guess
Sky are doing this to try and fill up their HD channels with as much as
possible?


AIUI some of the BBC's output on their HD channel is nothing more than
upconverted SD material too.
