HDTV on freeview

HDTV is going to come to FreeView, trialing in 2010. A little surprising as it's a fragmented platform with little commerical drive. It is where the licence payers who do not want Sky or Virgin will seek refuge after the digital switch off.

On the face of it I should be pleased but it maybe compromised, bandwidth issues and not all of the freed up analogue spectrum being available for television use. At the moment the government would love another "3G" sell off of that space given the state of the public finances!
