I am not sure of the exact figures of people buying HD TV sets when the tournament was going on in Germany at that time, given people were only starting to warm up to HD technology (the media was only starting to talk more about HD technology then and the World Cup became an 'excuse'). I have no idea of the situation here ahead of the Euros but I know the local pay-TV service here even has a channel or two just in high-definition format for the matches. For me, I am alright without the HD version (the living room TV in my house had been bought way before the HD craze). As long as I can get to watch the matches, fine with me.
