Freeview HD lines?

I know there is no box out there that can receive Freeview HD
yet, but does anyone know the resolution being used when such a
box does become available. Is is 720p or 1080p?

Definately _not_ 1080p.

If it's like Satellite BBC HD, then it's not 1920x1080, it's 1440x1080, and
at a pathetic bitrate now.

If the plan is to push people into buying Sky HD, it's working brilliantly.
I used to think, like many people, I suspect, that the BBC was as committed
to technological excellence and quality, as it was to programme making.
Bit disillusioned now.

The BBC via Sky is the same as delivered by Freesat which we know is poor
quality since August so what is the point of getting Sky for the BBC
programmers.
Ok the Sky programmers might be better but can we be sure Sky will continue
to be better?

Well, if they don't, unlike the BBC you at least get the option to stop
paying for the service.

This is a fallacy since there is no legal requirement to
continue paying for a tv receiving licence for your own
household and viewing broadcast tv services therein.
