Apologies for going slightly off topic, but errrm, no it isn't. Three of the four main broadcasters in the UK will be offering HD services this spring, for free, on the FreeSat platform. Currently you can get an excellent service from BBC HD for free and Channel 4 HD you can watch for the one off cost (£15) of a viewing card. C4 HD will also be going FTA in a month or two. I can currently watch and record both channels on my VDR box which is fantastic (check out Paul Mcartney at the Electric Proms in HD and DD5.1!) Apparently ITV HD will start FTA in March / April. Additionally, Luxe HD is also FTA on Astra 2. So, currently 4 HD channels that you can receive in the UK without forking out lots to Sky. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
