very good point freesat is now not just a danger to sky but now VM. However for those who for many reason cannot have a dish freeview for HD as it goes live in your area looks the only option.
Ofcom announced freeview will later this year get DVB-t2.
Will be introducing HD on freeview although only the main 5 from 2009 as each region goes digital only they will get ITV HD, BBC HD, c4 HD, 5 HD.
You can see freeview also hurting VM.
I hope his comments been taken out of context he was talking about the immediate period to early 2009. He does have a point during this stage of HD. But from mid 2009 there is definate need to start looking at HD as standard.
