Shome Mishtake Surely?

Perhaps I've missed it, but I don't remember seeing anything about this
elsewhere, if it's true, then where are they going to find all of the extra
capacity?

"The BBC has announced that by April 2011 all BBC channels will be broadcast
in HD.
This will mean that there will be an HD channel for each of the BBC's
current channels, allowing those viewers with the right equipment to view
their favourite shows without having to keep switching over to the BBC HD
channel.
The BBC has told producers that all shows should be filmed in HD."

Techwatch provide no source for this statement.

It should be possible for BBC-1,2,3,4 to go HD on satellite and cable,
but as you so rightly observe this will be rather difficult on terrestrial
unless ITV-1/stv/utv and SC4/C4 get bumped from PSB-3.

But if another multiplex were to be converted to DVB-t2/MPEG-4 then
the possibility does arise.

Furthermore, I fail to see how all of the BBC regional news programs
will be in HD by April 2011, despite how much people will benefit from
watching the Peter Levy "Look Hull" Show in glorious high definition.

Filmed? I thought most shows were recorded on video tape.

I did read somewhere that the plan is to gravitate to all a DVB-T2 by 2017,
this makes good sense to me, as I guess that within two or three years
chipsets will soon be at DVB-T price levels, which means that every STB and
TV sold should be equipped to receive the new standard.

Maybe they will be like Film 4 HD and on Virgin Media ONLY.

I agree and I have already suggested something similar in a previous reply
to Mark Carver in another thread.. "I also see that 'Film Four HD' has now
made an 'exclusive' appearance on the Virgin cable HD package, IMV a great
pity, as I think that it would have done wonders for the adoption of
Freeview HD if it had been launched on their HD package, instead of the
duplicated Channel Four HD."

the BBC couldn't do that - given that the viewers have already paid for the
product through the license fee.

Well with new Government there might well be changes we must wait and see.

But with HD it looking as if one wants all of available HD one is going to
need 2 or 3 different boxes for differing plateforms.

I thought the latest trend was to record straight to disk

I think the term may be used loosely just as people still refer to
dialling phone numbers and direct dial number even though modern
phones don't have dials. I still refer to taping TV programmes even
though I don't use tape.

The recent HD TV series Emma was filmed
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1366312/technical and IIRC according to a
regular subscriber to this newsgroup (Dave Plowman?) who works in the
industry, an increasing number of productions are being done using flash
memory.
