HD content from the BBC has been given a boost as the corporation launch five new HDTV channels that can be watched for free (so long as you’re in the UK). The new channels getting a visual boost are BBC Three and Four HD, BBC News HD, CBeebies HD and CBBC HD.
The new free to air channels are launching today, on December 10 and can be watched on digital receivers that include Freeview and Freesat HD, Sky HD, Virgin Media, and the YouView box.
The first high definition channel from the BBC which showed a collection of BBC HD content and was given that name, was launched in 2006. The new channels will be in the standard 1080p HD and not Ultra 4k, as the BBC are not using license payers money to fund the new standard and will probably follow behind Sky TV in adopting the format.
