KMJ,Derby: "It is significant that there is currently no interest in the available slot on PSB3. "

BT Sports HD 1 will be there very soon indeed!

"Another point is whether HD would have also been subscription on terrestrial transmitters if the receivers had been equipped with card slots!"

The whole POINT of Freeview is to ensure that there this doesn't happen.

John Chesterfield: Ceefax closed at digital switchover, 30th May/13th June 2012, so you can't mean that...

KMJ,Derby: It's a guess, but the slot is now available for services that are not free-to-air.

It's a guess, but if BT are paying "£246m a season" [1] for their football, they probably will be happy to fork out the money to get it on all the UK transmitters in HD.

The ONE THING you can be sure of is that BT won't be wanting to do that Sky-exclusive HD deal...

Mike T: Not quite. BBC ONE HD has become BBC ONE Wales HD.

The BBC HD channel has not changed.

BBC HD will become a UK-wide BBC TWO HD service at some point shortly.

woodface/Ian: From what they have said, they will provide filters for anyone who is using Freeview on non-primary sets, but you won't be able to cancel you Sky package, and get DMSL to come along an re-provide it.

They have to draw the line somewhere or some people will just exploit it...
