[QUOTE="Mew, post: 310856, member: 29012"] Hi ukez None of the channels you mention broadcast on DVB-T at present. BBC HD broadcast as a trial which stopped in May 2007 and ITV HD broadcast as a trial from June until November 2006. Channel 4 HD and Channel 5 HD also took part in this trial during the summer of 2006. At the moment BBC HD is available on DVB-S on Free to Air Satellite so is available on BSkyB and Freesat. ITV HD is carried as a datastream on DVB-S and is only officially available on Freesat. Channel 4 HD is now only avaliable encrypted by BSkyB and so you need a Sky card to watch this via DVB-S. Five HD as far as I am aware does not exist at the present on any platform. It appears that BBC HD carrying out test broadcasts again, this time from the Guildford transmitter but they are doing this using DVB-T2. So to receive this I guess you would need to be able to receive a signal from the Guildford transmitter and have a DVB-T2 card (which I am not sure are available yet). It appears that Ofcom hope one of the DVB-T muliplexes will be converted to DVB-T2 by the end of 2009 to enable HD broadcasts. Mew [/QUOTE]
