The BBC can offer the spare capacity to some else ie C4. So channel 4 could launch E4 HD , Film4 HD or More4 HD on freeview.

Thanks for telling me!

Incase he had not read it. He also did not know about the BBC could give someone else the spare capacity even though you already said it on the 2 page of this thread.

In the same sense that I have the option to buy a Porsche. I have a driving licence and I have spare capacity on my driveway.

The only problem is, if I did that I wouldn't have any money left for anything else, including food.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?

As I NEVER pick them as a choice I for one could not care less. If its a choice between HD & cuts/or more of my money I would drop the HD every time
