Not necessarily. Mux B will be switched to DVB-T2, and all remaining 16QAMmuxes will be switched to 64QAM. Eventually, all channels will be usingH.264, though not necessarily with any increase in resolution (at most, we'llsee the disappearance of 544x576). The overly-compressed ones will have avery good chance to improve their picture quality here – we hope. [snip]-- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
