Freeview HD

Just found a link to check when freeview HD will be available in your area, the link is

But check what transmitter you are on, as because i used my post code, and I am the north of Brownhills, close to the South Staffs border and said I will get freeview hd at the end of march 2010, where as my parents are the other side of Brownhills, the Walsall Wood end, and said they wont get them until 2011, but if you check, the postcode checker thought they are coming of the Wrekin transmitter, where they are using the Sutton Coldfield transmitter.

I know there are several HD freeview boxes available at the moment, as you will need to change your freeview box to a HD compatible one to receive the HD channels, There are 2 in argos at the moment starting from £150, but as a guess these will get cheaper over the next year, as more areas will be able to receive HD.

Channels at launch will be BBC Digital and ITV Digital, with others to follow.  If everyone remembers the big re-tune least year for freeview this was to make room for these high def channels.

I hope you find this info useful
