Not necessarily. I searched around and never saw any mention of any HDTV
modes greater than 1080i, in Portughese sites. Also never any mention of
bit rates greater than 19 Mb/s. Also, I did see mention of being able to
carry two HD programs at the same time, supposedly thanks to AVC,
although that can even be done with MPEG-2 compression.
I don't think HDTV is high on their priority list initially, though, but
that could change as HD sets become cheap and commonplace.
I also saw some disgruntled posts where people said that SBTVD is
nothing but ISDB-T.
And a whole lot of talk about social implications of DTV, and the like.
All that verbiage one sees at the beginning of these DTV programs, for
whatever reason. Happens in all countries. Then it dies down as people
get tired of hype and reality sinks in.
