Has anyone got any experience of HD Freeview (NOT FreeSat).

I need a new Freeview box and am reluctantly thinking of getting a Humax HD-FOX T2 Freeview HD STB (http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/product.asp?ProdRef=10090 and available from Amazon for £160). I have a feeling that it will soon drop in price when Humax come out with a PVR version.

To date there seems to be very little available on Freeview in HD (BBC1 & ITV1 only?). However, I believe that the World Cup will be available in HD.

The World Cup will definitely be in HD as the last one was back in 2006. Never had any experience with Freeview HD, but have had SkyHD since May 2006 and I can't do without it now.

Are you in an area where Freeview HD is broadcast? No point getting the kit if you're not.

DVB-T2 is obviously very new so there won't be many people who've had experience.
