[QUOTE="RedeviL, post: 270209, member: 55318"] payload, my first question would be - is Freeview HD (Terrestrial) right for you? You could easily go for the Freeview Satellite route which would tick all the boxes for Picture Quality, Wide Screen and Digital Sound. It's also in only MPEG2 - which your hardware would be able to handle as you stated. Since Terrestrial is transmitted in MPEG4 which is HD - the receiving hardware must downscale this for SD. This still requires a LOT of system processing and work. Even playing HD back in it's original format takes a lot of processing work. I had to upgrade my AMD XP2000+ to the system detailed under My System to the left because it couldn't handle HD. [/QUOTE]
