Hi. I have a dvb related question. Not directly related to freevo, but, depending on the answer, it might be in the future. I'm doing this question here because some people might now and, who knows, depending on the country it might be important.
My question is about dvb-t, the standard behind digital terrestril tv, the new tv in Europe. In every analog channel, there is a stream containing up to 4 digital channels (that is, audio+video, what you see), and perhaps some data or some more audio channels. It is an mpeg2 strean, and the cards used in computers can tune a channel, extract the stream and decode it. So, the question: What if the stream isn't in mpeg2 but in mpeg4 (for example)? I think that, at least in Spain, some tests have been done to increase quality with the same bitrate. What I want to know is if the same cards will work in this case. Will they still capture the stream and let the cpu (mplayer rocks) decode it? Or the signal will just be ignored? The modulation won't change, so the card should see the signal and, at least, the receiver should see the bitstream, but if someone knows for sure, I'd like to know. It would be great to know that even if dvb-t changes this, we won't need a new receiver.
