Ive just had a quick look....tho as I have HD sat I aint that bothered be interesting if you could find a spec that shows terrestrial tuners that are H264 compatible cos I cant find them.

I wish I could remember where I saw it but way too much cider down my neck

Noooooooo! I've just put an order down on a phat pioneer last week after deliberating for around 2-3 months.

I have an HD TV (Sony KDL-40W4000, 1080P/24) which gives me BBC HD just with a cable feed, it stands to reason that the tuner, having a high def output might be configured for terrestrial high def also. Your contention is that "no existing TVs" will do this. Complete tosh, you have no idea what you are talking about.
"these hd TVs" ffs, is that these over here or those over there? don't embarrass yourself with another post

Do you hear m8 its not me thats embarrassing my self but you and if you are a so called mod of this forum your manners are some thing to be desired
you are watching BBC hd from a cable feed so they are sending the feed down the line i am watching BBC hd from a freesat box but nether of us will be watching it from freeview with out a external freeview box i fit digital aerial and satellite system for a living have been for nearly 28 years so yes i do know what i am talking about tell you what I'm not going to say another word on this until freeview hd is here then ile come back and let you eat your words as its you that don't know what you are talking about
yes my grammar is crap but your manners as a mod is a dam site worse

[raelmadrid]

lmao, there are TONNES of 'HD ready' plasmas/LCDs that are out there with no HD freeview tuner

lots of people will need a new box, fact

Freeview have also announced the launch of it’s much anticipated Freeview HD service, which should introduce several High Definiton digital channels towards the end of 2009.

Freeview will be broadcasting these channels free inline with it’s current policy, and again, no monthly subscription, rental or commitment is required.

However, to receive and benefit from the improved High Definition signal which provides greater and more vibrant colours with better picture clarity, you will require a HD compatible television, together with a Freeview HD set top box, or when available, a Freeview HD integrated Digital TV.

which was my point exactly, they launch in December, my local transmitter (Crystal Palace) is equipped and has tested already, equipment manufacturers will have had the specs for ages and I remember reading about some already being available. My response to the original post by aba was simply to point out that he was unhelpful, ill informed, agressive and barely legible. Even if I need a new set top box I'll keep my TV because it is a peach!

As I posted above m8 there was a limited number of Humax terrestrial HD boxes made available for the London trial during the 2006 World Cup.

Lets just let it lie now eh?

You don't want the link to the Sony sets available for New Zealand territory then?


Also the tests and equipment I'm talking about was just a couple of months ago
