Those slides posted by Ron on the reflector are vintage 2000 results for DVB-T
receivers vs ISB-T. Ark of the covenant stuff!!! OLD HAT.
Meantime Sky's DVB-S2 MPEG4 HDTV service is currently testing as is the BBC FTA
MPEG4 HDTV services and a DVB-T MPEG4 (that's right, MPEG4) HDTV experimental
service is to be broadcast from Crystal Palace for a year, starting before the
World Cup. It may well be on-air now. I understand 500 lucky people in the
London area have already been given the DVB-T MPEG4 HD boxes. More details
soon. You can read all about the MPEG4 DVB HDTV services at
www.digitalspy.co.uk which has many screen shots of the new Sky MPEG4 HDTV
service and the BBC HDTV services.
And OFCOM is to auction L-band spectrum which may be used for DVB-H and/or
MediaFLO services next year, a la Modeo in the states.
So would Brazil really choose an MPEG2 HDTV system when the market is moving to
MPEG4 and ISDB-T is STILL only used in one country? The pace of innovation in
the DVB systems is a telling contrast. Never mind the economics...
