Freeview HD trialists needed
BBC News reports that 450 Freeview viewers in London are required to trial High Definition broadcasts. This trial would include high definition broadcasts of the World Cup (both from BBC and ITV), as well as other programmes from the four main terrestrial broadcasters.
London has been chosen because the HD broadcasts are lower in power, and with London having a dense, urban population, the broadcasts can reach more houses.
This trial is going to be the only way to watch high definition broadcasts from Freeview in the near future, so if you have Freeview, an HD Ready display, and live in London, get over to www.bbc.co.uk/digital promptly and put your name down!!
Don't forget, if you don't live in London, or don't get on the trial, you can still get High Definition TV from either Sky or Cable - but you will have to pay for it. Also there have been no announcements from ITV that they will broadcast their World Cup matches from this summer in High Def on these platforms.
