Yes, but this has always been the case EG "search for Joseph" months ago was in HD:o :rotfl:

The BBC HD channel was only a 'Preview' channel before and only broadcast for a few hours in the evening.

I understand the change is that it is now a full time channel.

Hope this helps!

It has been extended from 5 hours a day to nine and is now a permanent channel in it's own right.

Sorry, cant see any difference, HD Preview has always been shown continuosly threwuout the day with the odd programme, as BBC 1, in HD, ie come dancing, The Tudors, Heroes, its still the same,

Yes their is a difference, they now announce it on the normal BBC 1 channel

System

I'm sure I'm not alone with this observation. Like most people I am aware of HD Ready, which my Pansonic viera is. But I have Freeview as an inbuilt feature of this model. I'm assuming now that this transmission from BBC, is not viewable for me?.

That being so, this weekend I picked up another expression, Full HD. Maybe someone would explain this please.

In a day or so, I am due to have a Panasonic DVD Recorder (DMREX77EBK) installed, withHDMI lead, now will any of this allow me to view this BBC HD stuff.

I do not have any intentions of introducing Sky, but would consider investing in a "box" which would allow the HD stuff if the above isn't suitable.
