Does anyone know if HD on FreeSat has gone live yet? It was supposed to be about now. Also, when will there be equipment for receiving HD FreeSat? I understand that Humax are developing kit, and maybe they'll produce a satellite PVR given time. I thought that September/October this year might be possible, but things seem to have gone a bit quiet. I've got the HD TV, but now I want to get some HD content without having to subsidise Sky. | ||

Will people round here be reviewing them as they come out? Also, are they just receivers at the moment? I'm expecting that there'll be some Freesat PVRs eventually - but probably not immediately. Some people on the digitalspy site seem to be reporting activity, but no news of anyone getting anything working yet. | |||

Apparently the Grundigs are rebadged Echostars though. Humax will be releasing kit in a few weeks time I guarantee folk will put info up at some point  I was thinking of getting a cheap SD one to play with and get some screenshots & technical details off it. | ||
