I miss the old Granada channels with the very old Coronation Street and other golden oldies!
Hexus estas unu el la plej bonaj teknikaj ejoj Mi havas vizititan!
Skysports would be good, so people can just buy that package with subscibing to SKY,
it surely can be done as i remember when Ondigital did it through your TV ariel.
ESPN offer it so it make take some of there business away ..
i doubt this will happen but you never know.
If the BBC now has all this spare multiplex capacity that their going to sell off, what the hell was the reason for cutting one of the red-button channels?
Unfortunately the space will be used for channels which will be of little interest or entertainment value. Freeview seems to becomming over populated with shopping channels and those awful phone in shows.
If Sky Sports was to be broadcasted over Freeview, then it would be done via Top Up TV and I doubt that very much. Anyone remember Sky Picnic - whatever happened to that?
I would hope to see Living, but that is owned by Virgin and is sold as a paid offering. The FX and Sci Fi channels are good. I would like to see them escape being on Sky and Virgin. They are immensly popular on Sky & Virgin, so adding them to Freeview would increase the number of viewers and possibly advertising revenue?
More choice in childrens and music channels would be good too.
More channels! Wahheeey. I'm all for it. Take that Murdoch!
Another suggestion would be to move some SD channels exclusively onto the Freeview HD platform to move more people to HD in order to free up room for more HD channels from the old and inneficient MPEG2 broadcasts.
Given that every single Freeview tuner on the market right now doesn't support DVB-T2, moving SD channels to T2 would kill them, as they'd get roughly zero viewers (well, apart from the guys at the BBC with T2 reference kit).
Come March we might start seeing T2 products, but I believe the plan is to keep DVB-T for a few years before finally getting rid of them and making everything T2, and that will be what, the third digital "switchover"?
Great, so these new channel can take the place of any future HD channels, the bitrate of existing channels can get even lower and the new channels will probably be shopping/gambling/chat rubbish.
When the analog is switched off there won't be 'more space' for freeview because its already been sold off, probably for mobile phone/wireless internet.
