It's not a complicated issue at all.
1. Broadcast HD will be 25fps in Europe. Material shot this way will play back at the correct speed. Films shot 24 fps and shown on TV, however, would be speeded up just like they are now in the old analogue PAL system. While this may be an issue for some, it doesn't affect HD video playback from external sources in any way.
2. All display devices that bear the official "HD ready" logo must accept 24fps/60Hz signals and display them natively. We already watch our NTSC DVDs in their native format on our analogue multi-standard TV sets and similarly we will watch HD video releases they way they were meant to be watched, i.e. at the correct speed.
