    not really that exciting. Only 50% of the population covered by mid summer is pretty poor considering the big digital switchover has happened to more than 50% by then.

    Also freeview has limited space for HD content. Dont expect too many HD channels.

    I'm looking forward to QVC HD.

    And something to receive it with.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    My area gets it in 8 days (Wiltshire)! Shame I don't have any equipment to recieve it (or even a full HD display to display it on - Very poor at the moment)!

    Be interesting to see if my DVB USB/PCI cards can pick it up? Both supposed to support HD signals but that was before Freeview HD was ratified...

    Edit: Must have misspelt Wiltshire as it was ####!

    LOL @ wilt****e. Your tuners won't even see the DVB-T2 multiplex, so no Freeview HD for you.
