SVT in Sweden are the only current DVB-T HD broadcaster in Europe AIUI, and I hear they are planning to switch this to a nationwide VHF DVB-T2 single frequency network quite soon? Australia is running a full DVB-T HD network - but they selected their HD standard 10 years ago...

As the DVB-T2 standard has only just been ratified, and production silicon (which is not something you can do a software upgrade on) is not yet available for DVB-T2 demodulation, I think the Play-TV will be DVB-T only, and thus SD only in most of Europe.]]>Aug 13th 2008 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/sonys-playtv-dvr-for-ps3-delayed-to-september-19th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/sonys-playtv-dvr-for-ps3-delayed-to-september-19th/
There were several articles about the PlayTV development and I remember a few interview with the team saying they had spent lots of time (weeks) with Ofcom, DTV Services Ltd, the BBC HD team, ITV/Ch4/Ch5 with regards to the planning and specification of the PlayTV hardware, DVB-T2 wasn't dreamed up overnight so if all these sources of information told them they are all going to use DVB-T2 only I'm sure they would have taken that into account.

Missing hi-def?
And on that subject: when first mooted, PS3 was supposed to offer high-definition viewing and recording capability. So what happened? Initially, its delayed launch was supposed to take account of DVB-T2, the recently ratified broadcast specification that will enable free-to-air digital terrestrial television.

But the finished PlayTV box sports DVB-T badges, with no mention of that all-important ‘2’. Sony has murmured of a future downloadable upgrade to enable HD recording in the future, but whether that’s technically possible is another thing altogether.]]>Sep 18th 2008 3:25PM
