The article above was published on Thursday April 03 2008. It stated that media regulator Ofcom said that, Freeview viewers in some parts of the country will be able to watch high definition TV channels as early as next year.
This shows that for the future, the UK residents should expect a better quality picture.
New technology and a reorganisation of the way channels are allocated on digital terrestrial television spectrum will free up space for four Freeview HD TV services. One of them will be reserved for the BBC with the three others open to a competitive bidding process overseen by Ofcom among the commercial public service broadcasters, including ITV, Channel 4, Channel Five and Welsh language channel S4C.
This article shows that the technology is advancing quickly. It is allowing the UK residents a better quality of viewing. This is a very promising sign for the future as there are many more possible advancements which could be made.
