It's not new news, just confirmation of who's won. And before that I didn't genuinely know whether it'd be film4 or Five. Five makes it simpler for the viewers although shame for film fans.
I think it will be on freesat, it's not like technically at the moment freeview has the space for it. I think either the BBC will relent and make their transponder on astra 2D DVB-S2 and squeeze 3 or 4 HD channels on that they'll share with the others, or this secret testing to share with ITV and C4 will come to something or there'll just generally be some musical chairs to free up the space. There's a great deal of crap that can be kicked off if need be.
