Are there limitations to HDTV?

 
The major limitation of HDTV is bandwidth. Theoretically, two HD signals should fit into one traditional analog channel space (6 MHz) utilizing 256 QAM. (To give you an idea, in one 6 MHz channel space you can fit ONE analog channel, up to 12 standard definition digital channels, OR 2 HD channels.) Currently there are a few compatibility issues, but the theory should be a reality in the near future.
