Interview with head of BBC HD

[admin_exported]

Evening all. I'm off conducting another interview for the next Ultimate Guide to Television tomorrow, this time with the Head of BBC HD, Seetha Kumar. I'll be asking her all about the corporation's plans to offer free high-definition broadcasting via Freesat, getting the facts about HD over Freeview, and – of course – asking why the heck Torchwood is in HD but Doctor Who isn't… Anyway, if you've any pressing BBC HD questions you'd like to get answers to, fire away: I'll do my best to get answers!

1) Is the BBC's F1 coverage going to be in HD?

2) When's the simulcast coming? Or at least more than a couple of hours of HD programming a day...

3) Will BBC HD continue to be available on Sky HD once Freesat/Freeview HD starts.

4) Dates for the diary.

5) When are they going to get rid of that wretched logo from the corner of the screen. You spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds on equipment for an improved image quality only to have it defaced by "corporate branding". And lets face it, if you need a logo to tell you that you are watching a high definition broadcast then something has gone seriously wrong.

How many BBC HD channels are planned (Freesat/freeview) and what are their target audiences?
