LONDON - Freeview has brought forward the planned launch of HD content and announced it will carry HD programmes by next year's World Cup.
The plans for the introduction of the BBC iPlayer on Freeview are also expected ahead of schedule. The deal would mean iPlayer-enabled Freeview boxes would be available in time for Christmas. Online content could then be viewed through a TV.
Profit for Freeview+ is up 64% year-on-year. It was launched last autumn and has so far sold 1.4m set top boxes.
Freeview HD content was originally set to launch in line with the digital switchover timetable.
