Being in Canada I don't have as many options to maximise my content . so for me Broadcast is part of my final product ...

Vid, for what it is worth, many of the producers here can't or don't license their content to the broadcast market, and although you have a good point about the medium-term future of tv broadcast, it's a mostly a moot point to many.
I am going to have to respectfully disagree however, about 16x9 SD being any kind of better option for web content unless you are just talking about the producer's convenience factor. If one actually takes the time to skillfully light the set of either an hdv or HD shoot really well, the apparent detail that remains in the finished encoded files (like a high bitrate wmv or qt file) is much nicer than SD. Details like the texture of the models hair and eyes really "pop" and if you have some depth in the shot between the foreground and background there is much more of a 3D effect to the image even when viewed on a standard CRT or LCD monitor like most surfers use.
