>Great news regarding digital TV but what is the status and timeframe of HDTV content?

Thank you for your e-mail regarding FreeView free-to-air digital television.

Content on FreeView channels will be up to the participating Broadcasters to decide and I expect that the introduction of HDTV by some will be a "point of difference" or giving one a competitive edge over another.  Given that this platform offers the perfect opportunity for HD TV I expect some Broadcasters will certainly introduce it sooner or later.

I am sorry I cannot yet be more specific with timeframe for the inclusion of HDTV programmes on FreeView.

Well this is sounding positive. With Sky's HDTV plans as well, hopefully this is going to create a good bit of market competition for viewers and maybe some HDTV content.

The key good thing I get from this message is that it appears that Freeview will technically support HDTV from day one as a platform.

Bring it on.

Update:

There is some really good information on Freeview here http://www.apsattv.com/ thanks Skippy for the link.
