The BBC prepares for HDTV
Chrichton Limbert, Head of BBC News Production Modernisation has written an article about BBC News's High Definition Vision, on the BBC web site.
High Definition television on a large screen with 5.1 multi-channel audio is a fantastic home viewing experience. In the US, HD Sport from ESPN and Fox is particularly successful and is strongly driving TV sales. HD in Australia, Canada, Korea and Japan is also well established and growing.
Europe is following. The Premiere HD Channel launched in Germany and Austria last year and is predicting huge demand for the World Cup in HD. HD is about to start in France and Sky will launch HD in the UK later this year. A real push will come from the launch of the PlayStation3 that comes with a HD Blu-ray DVD player.
By next Christmas there will be a much wider range of easily available HD pictures - including the BBC HD test service, a limited technical trial of the practicalities of transmitting in HD, due to start later this year.

Just noticed this post, after posting a review on the above post.
This is good news for people like me who bought a HDTV a few back and would really like to take advantage of the actually HD element.
