Freeview HD signal turned on in London - Tesco Freeview HD boxes on their way

Just a quick note to let you know that yesterday, the high definition TV signal (so-called "Freeview HD") was switched on in London - more about this here.

I have learned that Tesco has placed its first orders for Freeview HD boxes to be shipped from the manufacturers so they will be arriving on Tesco shelves in the next few weeks. The simple reason for the time it will take is because only from yesterday could Tesco and its electronics suppliers confirm that prototype set-top boxes and Freeview HD TVs will work with the new DVB-T2 signal being broadcast from the mighty Crystal Palace transmitter.

You can't beat a working live production-quality TV signal to check that everything is OK...!

    Great news - and Tesco should be keen on price too!

As this blog grows in readership - and because it carries the Tesco brand - I have had to become more careful about the sort of comments that are acceptable. The good news is that I'm a champion of free speech so please be as praising or as critical as you wish! The only comments I DON'T allow through are:

1. Comments which criticise an individual other than myself, or are critical of an organisation other than Tesco. This is simply because they cannot defend themselves so is unfair and possibly libellous. Comments about some aspect of Tesco being better/worse than another equivalent organisation are allowed as long as you start by saying "in my personal opinion.." or "I think that...". ... followed by a "...because.." and some reasoned argument.

2. Comments which are totally unrelated to the context of the original article. If I have written about a mobile app and you start complaining about the price of potatoes then your comment isn't going stay for long!

3. Advertising / web links / spam.

4. Insulting / obscene messages.


Ok, rules done - now it's your go:
