They threatened something like this before and were rightly ignored.

...how would you explain to the average punter that the programme could
not be broadcast on Freeview HD? And how would you justify it to them
in such a way that they went "Yes, you're right" rather than "Eh?"
See Virgin vs. Sky.

to just watch TV and they're trying to use the national institution of
the BBC to do so. We're fighting this rather than selling you out to
make life easier for us when we join them after leaving the BBC^D^D^D."
