I don't believe you can. The Government offered to legislate to give the industry the chance to move over to HDTV at the same time as the move to digital/analogue switch-off, and the industry said it didn't want the expense of doing it all at once.

Given that they seem to want to get digital sorted first, and then concentrate on HDTV later, I suppose we could easily be waiting another 5 years before anyone starts transmitting HDTV in the UK.
