The BBC governing body has concluded that a BBC HD channel for
Sky satellite,
cable, Freeview and the internet would offer "high public value" and cause a
minimal adverse impact on the market.
A trial version of the channel, which includes BBC content such as
Planet Earth and Bleak House, was launched last year on
satellite and cable. The Trust has decided that the channel should continue to
run when a full service licence is granted.
A four-hour service could launch "almost immediately" on Freeview, following
public consultation, but viewers would have to buy a new set-top box to receive
the channel.
The consultation is now open, and viewers are invited to air their views
online at the
BBC
Trust HDTV – public consultation website. Consultation closes on 23 October,
and the Trust will publish its conclusions on 21 November.
Channel
4 announced last week that it will be the
first UK
terrestrial broadcaster to air its output in HD. The broadcasts will be
available in high definition from later this year to viewers with a compatible
TV and Sky HD box.
