Theoretically they wont have to be because they are converting all the HD channels to MPEG4, reducing the amount of bandwidth each of the previously MPEG2 encoded channels will take up. However, it remains to be seen if they will actually be HD resolution or if they will skimp to the HD-Lite resolution to say, future proof and save bandwidth for even more HD channels.

I am sure this has been asked before, but will the new channels be the so-called "HD-lite"?

You can bet your ass that is will be HD LITE, 1280x1280. They'll never get close to 1920x1080.
