The fact that in the last year we have actually lost HD channels on Freeview when all the other platforms are at-least somewhat trying to move to HD by default. We've lost BBC News HD, Quest HD, QVC HD and QVC Beauty HD all on Freeview, even then CBeebies HD and BBC Four HD took over 2 months to be reinstated. (though I do understand that the reason this happened was because of technical issues)
On the other side, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 have all gone HD on Freesat, Channel 4 HD has been regionalised making it able to be put in the first 5 LCN's of the EPG (except in Wales) on Freesat, Sky & Virgin. In January, a whole sweep of SD channels were removed from Virgin, and of course the BBC have regionalised HD and are switching off their SD channels on satellite (having already done so on Virgin).
