[edit] DVB-T2

Would this be a good place to add some basic information that s new study group has been launched to look into the future version of DVB-T called DVB-T2? There really isn't much information at the time to justify a new article. 24.80.38.70 18:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you. Please feel free to add some info in the article, as you wish. --Cantalamessa 21:41, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greed.

It should be emphasized in the article that diital television is being pushed nopt because people will see more beautiful pictures, but rather the government wans to liberate a large chunck of spectrum now used for analog TV and sell it for paying telecomm use or they want to licence 10x many nation-wide TV channels than current analog allows and so collect 10x more licence fees. So it is about money, not the consumer.

What you say can be the truth, but this article merely describes the standard, and does not discuss about politics. Your arguments better fit in Digital terrestrial television. --Cantalamessa 21:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] H.264

This article talks about MPEG-2 as the encoding used for DVB-T, however in the UK there are already DVB-T broadcasts using H.264 for HD content. Is MPEG-2 really mandatory to meet the DVB-T specifications, and if not, should references to MPEG-2 be removed from this article? Neilka 09:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. It would be more correct to write that only MPEG-2 TS is mandatory, whereas the audio and video contents can be different from MPEG-2 (e.g. H.264). --Cantalamessa 15:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
