I was originally lead to believe that the whole of Winter Hill was going HD on 2/12/09. However, kind of glad with the March 2010 date, in that there are no FreeviewHD TVs or STBs nor DVB-T2 USB tuners at the moment, so don't feel like I'm really missing out.

It's on the Freeview site as a .pdf in the HD section.
 
yes i too read that winter hill was going to transmit hd from the 2/12.....

but with no hd reciever like you said...then oh well....

i can see a lot of peeps complaining who have got a HD ready tv and cannot pick up hd channels.....

roll on the switch over....
 
Most pc DVB-T cards are HD compatiable, has anyone managed to recieve HD freeview yet?
