Nicholas Willmott: the government froze the BBC licence fee so they don't have the money to roll out a full service.

There is a background article I wrote here

More Freeview capacity - COM7, COM8 and COM9 - in the 600MHz band | Freeview news | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice

Sfn networks cannot be used due to the proximity of the French and Dutch TV networks.

david: I have no idea what you're on about.

Sky has annual revenues of £6,791m which is more or less double that of the BBC at £3,656 ITV plc (which runs 80% of the channel 3 network) had revenues of £1,834, about a quarter of Sky's.

The idea that the BBC pays "above market rate wages" laughable.

I don't know where you got "over five million more" from or what it is supposed to mean.

"Human being require transport to appear on live television shock".

Pray tell us what figure would you find "acceptable".

KMJ,Derby: "To be fair BBC3/CBBC and BBC4/CBeebies are already HD throughout the UK on satellite"

I'm not sure where you've got that from... these BBC services start their official broadcasts on Tuesday.
