[QUOTE="mdsflyer, post: 212635, member: 16262"] Hi Coina, fair enough and i think the point is DVB-T will suit you but the following remains true DVB-T is local, Optus D1 covers NZ and Aus, have a google around you'll get the idea, and then there are other satellites in the region DVB-S will be in HD it's only a matter of time Do you own an HD TV set? If yes you are in the minority, if no then why the wait for DVB-T? For sure DVB-T will be a good localized TV source for those in urban centres, sounds ideal for you, but to be negative about DVB-T is easy for me, and at least 1 million other kiwis . . . . . . . we wont get it. If you can "live without tv indefinitely if i have to" then i would suggest waiting for the next technology after DVB-T, it promises to be far better For some of us its about having the latest technology now and not in the future, i can remember getting a ZX81 with it's whole 1K of RAM, if i had waited for the PS3 i would never have those great memories of 3D Monster Maze (my tongue is firmly in my cheek now!) But the valid point is DVB-S is here and has been for some time, DVB-T is not. Its not hard to be positive about DVB-S as it works impeccably and gives great results, after all I need my weekly fix of The Mighty Boosh! [/QUOTE]
