[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 655255, member: 11220"] I thought that was odd too. Not sure what sort of resolution HD channels are actually transmitted at. I know on DVB-S that BBC and ITV transmit at 1440x1080 where as all the Sky channels (on DVB-S2) are at 1920x1080. IIRC when they did the Freeview HD trial at Crystal Palace they actually used DVB-T and transmitted HD at 1080i with MPEG2 compression (so any normal TV should work). The 720p bit on this card is confusing as it takes a lot of power to resize video and this card is meant to simply transfer the digital stream to your PC for processing :S Perhaps it will do 1080i as well as 720p ?? (which I think all DVB-T content will be??) [/QUOTE]
