Basically the BBC have to offer the Same service on ALL platforms, they have to be impartial, so whilst they could offer regional news on BBC 1 HD via Virgin, they couldn't do it on Freesat, there just aint enough HD mux's available to them. ITV sort of fudged the issue, for instance if you Live in Leeds, you get your news from Manchester on ITV HD 1, now i bet that goes down well.
