The BBC and ITV are looking for 450 volunteers in London willing to test high-definition terrestrial broadcasts free for six months. The catch? Participants need HD-ready TV sets.
Big attraction looks to be World Cup football - all BBC and ITV matches will be included in the test - but Channel 4 and Channel Five will be providing packages of other shows, too. We'd guess that there will be some Wimbledon tennis from the BBC given that - like World Cup football - some matches are going to be included in the BBC's satellite HD trials.
According to a BBC news report, broadcasters have chosen London because low-power HD signals on non-commercial frequencies will be able to reach many homes without interfering with existing channels.
