Rejected petition Encourage TV broadcasters to decommission Standard Definition TV channels
All TV sets bought nowadays are either Full HD or more increasingly, Ultra High Definition or 4K sets.
However, the number of HD and 4K channels is very low. The government and the viewing public need to encourage broadcasters and content providers to produce more HD & 4K content over the airwaves
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you want the Government or Parliament to do to encourage the decommissioning of standard definition television channels. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
