What are the ways to receive and watch HDTV? Do you need SKY HD? Can you get it through Freeview at all, like a special BBC channel? Or is it only on special subsciption channels? Im getting a HDTV soon, but dont have sky.
 
Sky HD or Telewest Cable, no HDTV freeview for years although the BBC do have a channel shown on sky and are filming content in HDTV. At the very least you'll need to wait until terrestrial TV is turned off before there is enough bandwidth to allow new freeview services like HDTV. Lastly you can of course download it but don't expect real time streaming or anything :)
 
I did read this morning that they are running trials in about 500 homes in London with freeview HD through an ariel,
 
Got the email today that I am possibly part of the BBC / ITV trial , after replying to said email I have to wait for email confirmation..... should know soon I hope, thought this had already been done they are really leaving it late soooooo glad I am still in ( hope 450 people didnt reply in the 10 minutes I replied to my email in)
