[QUOTE="mcraenz, post: 239829, member: 54136"] It might take a little while but the change has to be made at some point we can't go on using MPEG2 for ever. DVB-T is perfect for HD, bandwidth is cheap (compared with sat) and for HD h.264 is the best compression option. If Freeview had gone with a MPEG2 for there HD DVB-T platform it would have been very disappointing just Look at the crap situation Australia is in with their MPEG2 DVB-T HD, I real wasted opportunely now there are thousands of MPEG2 STBs out there and they're stuck with that platform (of course hindsight is a wonderful thing) but Freeview has built a platform that will last. MPEG2 is legacy. And as for MHEG5, again planning for the future, beats teletext! No freeview looked at the situation and thought "what's the best platform we can build?"; not what's the easiest or cheapest and kudos to them for that. Ok I'm done. That's my rant for the day ;):P [/QUOTE]
