HD is the whole reason I'm using XBMC on my HTPC.

Needed maybe not but desired totally if you have a HDTV the quality difference is huge to have a native 1080p video that upscaling a scene release 640x228 movie to that size

The only time I ever watch something in SD is if it is a TV show that doesn't air on an HD channel. If I feel like watching a movie but it isn't out in HD I usually just watch something else, heh.

Its hard to go with HD stuff here in AU with our pathetic download limits (90gig month for me). But I like having the option if something special and worthy comes out.

1080p/720p was initially the only reason I switched from the xbox. I think now with all of the HDTV price drops happening, HD content will become more and more important to people and so will the support from xbmc.

100% HD content and only HD content (movies)!
I have a HD DVR from my cable provider that allows me to record to its integrated hard drive so it doesnt have to be included in my XBMC setup but it's all HD.
I have even downloaded all 2 seasons of the tv show Pushing Daisies and that's 720P HD as well, lol.
Freakin Samsung HDTV is one of the best things I have ever bought myself.

Of course, HD content all the way...
I opt for HD content whenever possible, it makes ALL the difference if you have an HD TV set... When I watch a standard SD movie, it just doesn't feel the same, it just doesn't feel normal. You know what it feels like? It feels like I'm watching a movie from TS or CAM source... I'm so used to HD and ll the detail, that a dvdrip feels that way to me...

I have a 42" LCD HDTV (Yeah...not that big, i know), yet ALL but one of my movies in XBMC is SD. In terms of visual appeal, i say HD all the way, i much prefer it over SD content.
That being said, i have many Blu-Ray discs of movies and TV Shows that i have bought and watch. But, at this point in time i am fine with them on disc. I don't need to take up copious amounts of storage space with them.
So, i do watch a lot of SD content, simply because i have a lot of it.
When HD becomes cheaper and more available, then that will be all i buy. But for now, my DVD purchases are much higher than my Blu-ray ones.

Movies about 95% HD.
TV-shows about 70% HD.
If I have the option I always choose HD.
