But it's not really news as I pointed out, but it is always good to bring this up.

etc.

Originally when I saw the thread I thought it might also be talking about http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/oct/22/television

Londoners could be able to watch the 2010 football World Cup in high definition on Freeview after Ofcom today outlined a proposal for a pilot scheme that could speed up the rollout of HD services by two years.
With regards freeview HD and demand/supply of DVB-T2 boxes Granada region alone is 2.5 million homes which is not a very big number initially and the ofcom document (which I can't find right now) does pretty much say they don't expect too many boxes available till a fair way into 2010. Which is a bit of a problem as presumably all this stuff is trying to get it rolled out to millions of homes in time for the 2010 football world cup.
