When can we expect televisions that will be able to receive Freeview
HD broadcasts? (I'm not asking when Freeview HD itself will be
available.)

When (to that point) will we be able to but Freeview HD set top boxes?

First look at this November 2008 response
to an Ofcom consultation;
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/cond.../intellect.pdf
"Intellect advocates an approach that would see
access to T2 services being made available to the
largest possible populace at the earliest possible
opportunity."

And this link:
http://tech.ebu.ch/dvb-t2
"The first commercial DVB-T2 receivers are
expected to be available as early as
the middle of 2009" *

Will the first be your favourite band and model ?
Maybe not - but it seems the industry have
U-turned and now sees DVB-T2 and HD on the
large UK DTT market as an important market.
Note that DVB-T2 is not expected very early
in low-end TV sets or STB models.

If - as expected - the BBC will apply for pre-DSO
licenses for London and a few of the other large
transmitters, the DVB-T2 could cover between
6 and 10 million households before FIFA2010
in ZA.

I'll put my money on Easter 2010, just a gut feeling.

My guess is that it will be when the DVB-T2 lisence holders are happy with
the payouts they'll receive!
Of course, The spec isnt finished yet so who knows ;P.

Hi Digie TV Techies

I am the proud owner a Panasonic TH-42PZ81B Full HD Plasma-TV with an
integrated built in freesat and freeview DVB tuner. It already gets both the
Freeview(SD only at present) & the HD transmissions from freesat really
well. I thought it would also get the HD from Freeview if and when that
starts up (with maybe a software update) or have I been misled ?

Regards Jimbo
