Just bought an HD tv and disappointed by lack of BBC 4/BBC News on HD - is it likely that Guildford will be extended to be a Freeview HD (COM7 and COM8) transmitter?
If so is there any timetable/
If not will BBC 4 take over the BBC 3 spectrum when 3 finishes this summer?
Many thanks.

John Tenner: No, COM7 and COM8 aren't going to become available from Guildford. They are built on a shoestring owing to their relative short life of five years.
The only thing you can do is consider whether you can receive them from another transmitter such as Crystal Palace or Hannington.
I don't know whether BBC Four HD might move onto PSB3.
