HiDef BBC One Channel

I was channel surfing this evening while waiting for Ocean Odyssey to start, which was an awesome watch, anyway whilst channel surfing I noticed a 'HD BBC channel'. I've got it on Telewest Digital channel 108, but all see is a blank black screen.

Wondering if anyone else has it and can view anything?

So thats HD out for me and a lot of people who are not able to afford sky as it is let alone another £10 on top.

If you want it, ring them up today. They might not be able to fit you in before June 9th otherwise.
