UK's terrestrial operators commit to high definition on Freeview by 2012
The UK's four main terrestrial broadcasters — the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Five — have signed a non-binding agreement which could see their high definition offerings appearing on Freeview before the digital switchover is complete in 2012.
BBC HD (approved yesterday), ITV HD, and Channel 4 HD, could all be in place by late 2009 or early 2010, with Five HD coming on board when capacity is available.
This agreement includes the development of new technologies to increase the available capacity on Freeview, and a rearrangement of some of the existing Freeview channels.
The proposals would need to be agreed by the BBC Trust, and Ofcom.
