If it does happen I imagine they'll combine BBC Three and Cbeebies and therefore create space for News HD
Everything else being equal yes. However MPEG 2 (which is used for most Freeview SD channels) is a coding system from the 1980s, and is not very bandwidth efficient, MPEG4 is used for HD, (in itself pretty old too) Also DVB-T2 which hosts UK HD channels is more efficient than DVB-T, used for most of the SD channels
In short we need to ditch DVB-T and MPEG 2 ASAP
