Freeview HD in UK in 6mths?
|
|
Hi all,
For those in the UK, this looks interesting...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/11_november/16/freeview.shtml
"Today the BBC has confirmed the timetable that will make HD services on
Freeview available to 50% of the population in time for next June's World
Cup, and to 98.5% [1] of the population by the end of digital switchover in
three years' time."
Will be interested to see the Freeview HD cards that become available - I'm
guessing that these will be "DVB-T2" ?
Someone pointed out
http://www.leconcepts.com/products/vivanco-dvb-t2-2.html as a start.
Would prefer something PCI based and Hauppauge.
I've attached the transmittion switch over dates below.
Cheers,
MG
