How does HD Programs work?


I am not sure how to ask this question without asking a couple others.

I do not currently have HD, but when a network channel say like ESPNHD is broadcasting a game, I assume that cameras they are using are HD. First question, is it possible for me to watch the same game on regular ESPN? IF so, then I assume since I do not have HD, I will only be seeing it SD?

Another question. NBC, CBS, etc.. have HD channels as well but they are seperate than my regular channels, so what is confusing is if I switched to HD programming, would I then start watching say NBCHD? Would I still be seeing the same Jay Leno but in HD? IF so, then why am I still able to see Jay Leno if it's broadcast in HD? It seems like to me that if I just bought an HD DVR then I would be ok, so why would I have to buy HD programming from my provider.

My apologies for so many questions all over the place, I just typed them as they came to my head.

Thank you for any help,

Chris
