, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ and other broadcasters are currently working to provide HD channels on Freeview.

Nothing comes for free though, and inevitably, this means that the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s existing Freeview service has had to change to help accommodate HD.

It's been a busy time for Freeview users, with them as part of a country-wide rearrangement of broadcast transmissions. Now at the end of October, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ will have less room to broadcast interactive TV on Freeview. More details on this are provided here.

For ´óÏó´«Ã½ News, this means that we're no longer going to be able to provide one of our services.

The News Multiscreen, which we've been broadcasting on Freeview for a number of years now, will close on Tuesday 27 October 2009.
