Hi, I've read that they are going to start trial for HD DVB on Freeview http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/06/whats_happening_with_freeview.html http://www.dtg.org.uk/dtg/press_release.php?id=14 They mention September, October and Decembre 2009, does anybody know more detailed info? Is it using the same transmission, just a different codec, or do we need new receivers?
In my understanding they will start new DVB-T2 standard and due to that new devices are needed. There is no DVB-T2 devices publicly sold currently. Few vendors like Pace and Humax have public prototypes.
Basically new demodulator chips are needed and I don't know if there is any publicly released.
Finland will also start DVB-T2 SFN (Single Frequency Network) with h.264 during next year. There is two VHF muxes currently reserved for that.
