[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 22731, member: 175963"] I suspect that in the Netherlands many people will use DTT to suplement cable and for taking with them when camping in the Netherlands so I don't see demand dictating standards in the near furture. I did try digital cable but sent it straight back as I actually found it in some respects to be worse that analogue, for example the sound is mono on many of the channels. For DTT to compete with cable here, digitenne will need to add a few foreign channels such as Belgium and BBC1&2 etc. There are rumours of multisytems being developed, i.e. combined DTT and satellite receivers. This would be a step in the right direction. What we really need are affordable TV's with built in receivers for all three digital broadcasting platforms. This will only happen when the analogue signal is turned off throughout Europe. Most TV's these days have at least one RGB scart connector which is a European wide standard and eliminates the problems associated with the various PAL variations. Scart allows me to connect my Sky box to my TV without worrying about PAL variations. I wish manufacturers would incorporate a decent RF modulator in there SAT/VCR/DVD equipment, so I could pump a signal with stereo audio up my PC equipment upstairs. [/QUOTE]
