So, is there any prospect of BBC News HD returning to Freeview in the foreseeable future?
As if it taking 13 sodding years for the regions to come to BBC One HD wasn't bad enough, and entire HD channel being removed from the platform is such a massive backwards step.
Freeview really is the poorest of poor relations, in terms of the march towards HD becoming the norm.
Perhaps the next "revolution" in TV (like the advent of 625 lines, colour broadcasts, widescreen, and Analogue Switch-Off) could/should be the full phasing-out of Terrestrial in favour of forcing uptake of satellite/cable/internet-delivered TV?
