HDTV Television

Freeview is searching for 450 volunteers in London to take part in a half-year trial of HDTV broadcasts through the free-to-air digital TV service.

The BBC and ITV will offer HD broadcasts of live World Cup matches during the trial period. Other shows will also be made available in the format.

To take part, viewers need to own an HD-ready TV set. Potential users can apply online to take part in the trial.

Sky is launching HDTV service this year.
