I doubt there's much to do with the recession.

Basically five got the worst freeview HD license, which lets them launch one when bandwidth allows, and seeing as how the multiplex has only 30mbps of bandwidth, it's going to be a long long time before the technology improves enough to launch the 4 HD channels on the single multiplex that's set aside for them. Cramming just 3 into there is going to result in them having a pretty poor bitrate.
