Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Ah, thought it might be. I was watching something with that charming eccentric old steeplejack in it on YeSTERDAY and it was pillarboxed with wrong aspect ratio, had to throw the TiVo into 4:3 mode and fiddle with the TV's zoom controls to get it right. You'd think the broadcaster would notice massive technical mistakes like that.

Really, you don't know what that means? It's a pretty common stock phrase for any magazine dealing in news of some kind or another. It means WAIT AND SEE.

zantarous;35346210]Have to say I like the line up on CBS Action reminds me of what Bravo used to be like when it was a good channel. although how bad does TNG look now. Sony also seems like a interesting addition.

Here here.:clap:

No not sure myself , Spider would probably know.

I'm not aware of any DVB-C2 chipsets in mass production. In fact I can see DVB-C2 being a failure, because it's a big investment for relatively little gain. There are better ways to get more out of cable.

Could the BBC launch BBC Two HD and also Keep BBC HD ?

I hope that happens.

Quote:

Ofcom said that the spare capacity will be handed back to the BBC, and it will be up to the corporation to decide the future of the additional HD network.

"Ofcom has been notified by Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited that it does not wish to proceed with its application for the fifth HD capacity slot on digital terrestrial TV at the present time," said Ofcom in a short statement.

"Subject to any future Ofcom decision to re-advertise the slot, the capacity will remain with the Multiplex operator BBC Free-to-View Limited and can be used by it for BBC services or services provided by a third party via a commercial arrangement."

The BBC now faces another dilemma over what to do with the spare capacity. It could maintain carriage of the BBC HD channel to provide an outlet for HD content from BBC Three and BBC Four, or it could launch an entirely new network, possibly one dedicated to HD sport in time for the Olympics.

Alternatively, an agreement could be reached with ITV, Channel 4 or another third-party broadcaster to bring a different HD channel to Freeview.

The only one that I could see out of those 2 is Channel 4, For More 4 HD?

Also E4 HD or Film4 HD.

Quote:

[Freeview HD currently offers four HD channels - BBC One HD, the BBC HD Channel (due to turn into the BBC Two HD under BBC plans), ITV1 HD and Channel 4 HD - but a fifth channel is scheduled to launch in April next year.

We will find early next year.

Come on the BBC do something good and launch BBC Two HD in april and also keep BBC HD.

So they could make BBC HD mainly focused around BBC Three and BBC Four.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 04:04.
