Freeview Ch 303 Red Button HD
 
Just popped up today I think, on Ch 303 (on DVB-T2 sets only) a holding page
for a soon to launch BBC Red Button: HD service.

So is that the fifth 'unsold' slot on the HD mux finally being utilised ?

Me too. I've almost stopped watching BBC4. There's more on the telly
than I have time for, so HD is a major factor when deciding what to record.

Does anyone actually use the red button as such on anything? Why not just
reebrand it the additional info channel.

The caption has changed since yesterday, now has the phrase, 'for Summer 2013'
added, which does rather imply a temporary service now ?

The onscreen caption is -

Coming soon for Summer 2013:
the best of BBC Red Button in HD

What does that mean? That seems to mean that it will be showing the best
of Ch301 material in HD. However, the wording may just be confusing.
