That in itself would free up bandwidth for new channels.
That could work in the long term however cant work right away as none hd freeview boxes/TV's wont bee able to decode the HD freeview signal (i beleave) meaning if they did that right now anyway with a standard freeview box/tuner would loose access to BBC1/2 ITV and C4
