I think AAC support won't be far away, there's some smart brains at work

the hardest part will be finding the remote!!!

hehe, maybe voice control might be on the cards then? ;-)

this is good news about dvb-t,
but whats this about a different epg? if the worst comes to the worst cant we just grab the epg from dvb-s and use it for dvb-t like was ppl have done for uhf channels like pime and sky?

Yeah I think that's gonna be the ticket. Or some other source xmltvnz? Will sky be broadcasting TVNZ7? I guess so.

I just feel sorry for the MCE boys. Anyone heard when their patch is out to support H.264 liveTV?

At least the smaller projects are able to respond to these types of changes.

As far as freeview's decision making has gone I just would have liked to have seen them use H.264 for the satellite broadcasts as well. This would have allowed for HD in the same space as a SD MPEG2 if I have heard correctly. Then again I can understand the reasoning as it would undoubtedly led to it being delayed or not working for us until now.

On another matter though has anyone noticed a slight increase in the freeview satellite quality in the last week?

I just would have liked to have seen them use H.264 for the satellite broadcasts as well.

I think that would have required different equipment, I guess the sat broadcasting was a "quick win"for Freeview since TVNZ was already boardcasting TV One and TV2 on Optus B1.

 

[Klathman]

I think the quick win was more what they were after for Satellite. Just a shame that HD over Sat will be a dream for a while because of that.

tv one and 2 are broadcasting 2 audio codec acc and ac3 i can play those to channels perficly with the latest svn, but still no audio! i have selected prefer ac3 audio

 

[MARKFNZ]

I have had previous SVN, 17500 I think, which works fine over DVB-T for both TVOne and TV2 with AC3 audio playing perfectly. I have had to use the Cyberlink H.264 video codec, and MPA audio codec. The latest SVN has broken audio though. There are some changes in progress which will get this working though. Just a matter of time. Set and ready to test at this end

All SVN build 17664 or later should be good to go!
Note: You must get both MP & TVServer for this to work.

Special thanks to radscorpian for his decoder work and allowing us to bundled with the client plugin.
