[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 479899, member: 176912"] I don't think it's supposed to be disrespectful or impolite - just pointing out that it's not something which the BBC are [I]mandated[/I] to do - hence it 'not mattering' (to the BBC) if expats can't receive the service. We're talking Freesat here, not Freeview, right? There's no way that the SD satellite delivery will be via mpeg4, as again, everybody else (including Sky subscribers) would be knackered! Only the BBC HD channel(s) will be mpeg4 and therefore require a dual mpeg2/4 HD receiver. Freeview will be moving to mpeg4 over the next few years, just to upset all the old people who have yet to buy an mpeg2 Freeview box. It'll give them something else to moan about in the Post Office queue! :-Nooo Only joking, you oldies! :P [/QUOTE]
