Bert,To use your own words, Bert, the quote was so simple and straightforward I am astounded by this level of spin.
"These operated using the MPEG-4 compression standard rather than the MPEG-2 used in standard DTT boxes, allowing more efficient encoding of the broadcast signal."
Please explain to me what spin I should put on the BBC's assertion that MPEG-4 is more efficient than MPEG-2?

The quote was so simple and straightforward that I really am astounded by this level of spin, John. Let me put it really simply: if the quote had said, "One SD program in MPEG-2 can be replaced by one HD stream in H.264," THEN the hype would have been justified.
