BBC HD on Freeview: rollout dates 2:34pm on 18 Nov 2009 Would Graham Plumb care to comment here on this article, in which he is quoted, discussing the format of Freeview HD ...

BBC: We may do 1080p on Freeview HD
BBC HD on Freeview: rollout dates 6:28pm on 16 Nov 2009 #4 It was unclear.
BBC HD on Freeview: rollout dates 4:33pm on 16 Nov 2009 ... that should of course refer to the BT 2009H1 results presentation.
BBC HD on Freeview: rollout dates 4:31pm on 16 Nov 2009 Thanks for this at last. We wont have to look at dubious amateur sites anymore.

Next on Freeview ... BT buying capacity from the DSO dividend to launch pay channels (as intimated in the 2009H2 results presentation last week). It keeps developing.

At least I can now decide on whether to wait for a Canvas box or going in in August for a DTT HD only device.
BBC HD: Interview with Danielle Nagler on Points of View 1:11pm on 12 Nov 2009 #130 - Hopefully with FULL rollout details for Freeview HD.
BBC HD: Interview with Danielle Nagler on Points of View 4:43pm on 10 Nov 2009 Good interview, shame about the content. However what has really irked me over the past 24 hours is this story ....

In which elememts of the Freeview rollout are revealed to a Magazine, PRIOR to an official Press Release, by a senior BBC Employee. Official Channels should be used for this information and not given selectively to magazines in interviews.

It does nothing to the credibility of the Corporation as I pointed out in a read, but as yet not replied to, email I sent to the individual concerned last night.

HD is important so please no more leaks like this one please.
BBC HD: Interview with Danielle Nagler on Points of View 11:52am on 09 Nov 2009 .... and still no detailed rollout plans for Freeview HD. This is getting beyond a joke now. I still refuse to believe that the complexity of contract negotiations are behind this. It's just rediculous when the details of the transmitter programme for the introduction of UHF in the 1960's and 1970's and the extension of BBC 1 and ITV to UHF in the 1970's were signposted up to a year sometimes more in advance.

.... some followup please?
Website problems 8:28pm on 06 Nov 2009 A number of [an error occurred while processing this directive] messages are appearing on the homepage.
So, the Czech was not in the post 7:19pm on 03 Nov 2009 Than heavens for this we have at long last protection from the crackpots of Westminster.
A sporting balance 2:11pm on 30 Oct 2009 Thanks for this, No answer about improving the online quality to go some way to compensate DTT Viewers who've lost Red Button recently.
