The BBC has announced that the HD simulcast of BBC Two will launch just before Easter, on 26th March 2013.
BBC Two HD will replace the existing BBC HD Channel and will be available subscription-free on all digital television platforms offering HD channels.
The BBC Two HD channel will be a simulcast network version of the BBC Two schedule. Meaning that if you live in Scotland for example and want to watch Newsnight Scotland, you will have to tune back to BBC Two Scotland in SD.
I must say, I am not best pleased they are closed down BBC HD. Now where are they going to show content from BBC Three and BBC Four in HD?

That’s sad to hear but inevitable I guess. Looks like I won’t e able to see any Eurovision Song Contest semi finals in HD again 🙁
I guess they use to show that on BBC Three and BBC HD at the same time then?
They sure did, still, thinking about it, there is the possibility that BBC could start BBC3 & 4 HD than share the multiplex with CBBC as they do now in SD?!
