Great news, if like myself you only have Freeview (I believe in better, by not having $ky). Both BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD are back. This time around 98.5% of UK households can them.
YouView adds new Internet channels to some boxes
Some YouView users are now able to access some of Freeview’s streamed Internet channels in a long-awaited development.
Motors TV on channel 240, Vintage TV on channel 242 and RT Documentary via channel 135 are now available on Humax Retail Boxes and BT YouView boxes.
This is on top of YouView adding the Netflix app a number of weeks back.

Love the extra Freeview HD channels
Got to say I am loving the extra HD channels that I can now watch via my Freeview HD tv and YouView box. Out of CBeebies HD, BBC FOUR HD, BBC NEWS HD, Al Jazeera English HD and Community Channel HD. I have a feeling I will watch BBC NEWS HD the most.
To find out when and if your area will get the extra HD channels. Check out the “Coverage Checker” at www.digitaluk.co.uk.
Can’t wait till Tuesday, getting more HD channels
Maybe I need to get out more. But I can’t wait till this Tuesday (25th March 2014), when my local transmitter starts broadcasting more Freeview HD channels :).
I can look forward to getting, CBeebies HD, BBC FOUR HD, BBC NEWS HD, Al Jazeera English HD and Community Channel HD.
CBBC and BBC Three going HD on 10 Dec 2013??
Great news if you have Freeview HD or YouView. Going by the EPG data on my YouView box. CBBC HD and BBC Three HD will be going live on 10th Demeter 2013! I guess they will also go live on Freesat, Sky etc at the same time.
BBC Two HD launches 26th March 2013
The BBC has announced that the HD simulcast of BBC Two will launch just before Easter, on 26th March 2013.
BBC Two HD will replace the existing BBC HD Channel and will be available subscription-free on all digital television platforms offering HD channels.
The BBC Two HD channel will be a simulcast network version of the BBC Two schedule. Meaning that if you live in Scotland for example and want to watch Newsnight Scotland, you will have to tune back to BBC Two Scotland in SD.
I must say, I am not best pleased they are closed down BBC HD. Now where are they going to show content from BBC Three and BBC Four in HD?

Sunday – 2rd May 2010
I filmed a new vlog, in which I speak about changing jobs at the dog track, from bar man, to bar supervisor. Also about getting a new Bravia 32-inch Widescreen TV with build in Freeview HD. Just to add to it, I do the vlog, while having a shower wearing my white lycra Pearl Izumi Team Garmin-Chipotle cycling gear.
