H.264 has no significant part in any of this, in terms of actual

I just love the way you pull inaccurate conclusions out of your hat Bert.

From the article:


"Improvements in compression technologies like MPEG-4 AVC are making

HD-DTT solutions a possibility,"

In other words Bert,
IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MIGRATE TO NEW HDTV SERVICES IN THE UK WITHOUT IMPROVED CODECS. 


It's not clear what the "first route" or "second route" are. The MIMO
scheme is probably one of the two approaches, maybe something more like
the Chinese system is another.
These routes are directly related to the battle between the broadcasters and Ofcom to use additional spectrum during the transition to DVB-T2. In EITHER CASE, the system will use DVB-T2 without MIMO.
