[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 176912, member: 175089"] No. Don't think of DVB-S or MPEG2 for HD. DVB-S2 is for HD (MPEG4/H.264/AVS) and is considered the standard for everything HD. The Thomson decodes both compression types [B]only[/B] because their are both SD and HD channels being transmitted at 28.2°E. Er, no they won't - sorry.:o They are not going to dump years of shared knowledge/interest in the development of MPEG4 by getting DVB-S to do something it can't. The only thing the BBC might change is the Symbol rate and FEC - much like they did with FreeView (if compared to ITV). If you really want to receive the BBC HD channels when they launch, I would recommend that you make sure you have DVB-S2 compliant kit. Have Fun, Mark. [/QUOTE]
