Just like here, it looks like the idea of raking in revenues from a
spectrum auction is hard to pass up. It may be that if Freeview wants to
add HDTV service, they're going to have to do it the hard way, with no
new spectrum.

Craig will say, "let them get HDTV from cable."
They can maintain the current SDTV service and add multiple HDTV channels when they can utilize the spectrum they already have at maximum efficiency. They can: 

1. Move to 8K carriers
2. Upgrade the infrastructure by increasing power levels or filling in the transmission grid allowing a return to 64 QAM 

3. Utilize h.264 compression.

4. Upgrade the SDTV service to EDTV using 1024 x 576P.
