BBC HD looks bad enough on Virgin now, and barely better than SD most of the time, so I really can't see the point of FreeView 'HD'. What we need is higher bit-rates, bring them up to closer to blu-ray levels, say 40-45mbits, and add proper lossless audio too. HD is supposed to be about superlative quality, but what is being broadcast now is mediocre at best.
