Not a question of "need" Brian, but a lot of people would want it,
including myself. I have no interest in football but do enjoy cycling
events like the TDF and athletics. I think the viewing experience in HD
would be enhanced. This is the first time I've ever considered getting a
dish.

Every home should have one!

Free yourself from the tyranny of the state censors and get
a rotor as well and then you will be able to watch TV from
other European nations, as well as from Asia and Africa,
and even the USofA.

Freesat announce an additional 24 channels of HD for the Olympics
Dear Humax user,
Freesat have announced they will carry all of the BBC's 24 live HD
Olympic
channels throughout the London 2012 Olympics, offering the full range of
live BBC Olympics coverage, bringing every Olympic sport from every
Olympic venue.
In addition to the 24 temporary BBC HD Olympics channels listed in the
Freesat TV Guide, Freesat viewers will also be able to access the live
'streams' via the BBC Red Button service.
As long as your unit is left in standby at night (not powered off or
left
on) your unit should pick these channels up automatically, or
alternatively you can manually retune when they are launched.

Hi all,
As a Freeview user who is not interested in any sport, am I free
from any auto updating of my Humax HDR-FOX T2
The latest software seems to support auto updating?
Mick.


As "Freeview" user, the extra channels on "Freesat" won't be available to
you.

Hi Ian,
Yes I did realise that but was wondering "if" there were any plans
to
add them to Freeview too?

If there was I would most likely re load the previous software so my Humax
cannot add them on its own
As it is reported that the latest software can do a rescan on its own if new
channels are added.
Mick.

And where do you think the UHF frequency bandwidth for 5 DVB-t2/MPEG-4
multiplexes would come from?

Quite. There simply aren't the necessary spare channels on Freeview.

Wot about SD Olympic channels on Freeview for us poor folk wiffout
flash tellys. We want topless beach volleyball too.

The second BBC red button channel - 302, which was lost when the HD
trials started ages ago, reappeared on the BBC mux from Sandy Heath a
couple of days ago. Currently it is just carrying a caption saying:

"BBC Red Button

During the London 2012 Olympic Games extra
action will be available via the Red Button
from BBC TV channels"

From the frequencies released during DSO! Pre DSO there were 5 analogue
channels plus (at main transmitters) 6 MUXes. Post DSO there are just 6
MUXes, which leaves 5 unused frequencies - either those used either by
the old analogue channels or, where a MUX moved to the frequency
previously used by analogue, by the pre-DSO MUXes.

I wonder if the 4G LTE thing might be an idea?.

Now that I presume is going to be IP protocol based?.

And it will be a Two -way service, base to mob and mob to base as it
were. So start converting the rest of Band 4 and 5 to IP based then
everything can run over the spectrum radio, TV, Internet, phones the
works.

Why keep all of that spectrum for one way comms?..
