Of course, what I would -prefer- is to ditch Comcast, and yes, watch at a higher resolution, and I will at the first available opportunity. But can't. Because monopoly.
I only buy HD on iTunes, but I only watch SD for 99% of my TV shows. Movies it depends. If it's a kid's movie we've seen already: SD. Also if it's the latest action rental: SD. I rarely rent in HD unless cinematography plays a large role in the film.
480P looks surprisingly good on iTunes. Much better than DVD typically. I'm OK with that for the most part.
OTOH Netflix's auto-scaling is clearly the future.
There are several situations where I would be perfectly fine with 480 if it meant I didn't have to deal with loading issues. Watching a cartoon in a lower resolution doesn't detract much from the experience (IMHO).

My 5mbps AT&T DSL struggles to load Hulu and Netflix on a daily basis, even at just 480p
