Indicates the combined digital radio bandwidth is 8Mb/s
An average DTV channel is 4Mbs
A quality one is already 8Mb/s
And an Analogue on is 36Mb/s
There are 40 odd analogue channels transmitted, switching off the analogue broadcast will free up 1440Mb/s of bandwidth that could be used for HDTV. I'm sure Proppin will come along and correct my guesstimates, but it looks like NTL will be able to carry the signals. You just need a new STB to decode them. |
You will also need a HDTV capable TV.
You can't even convince some people to go digital, I think HDTV will only appeal to the technology hungy like some of us. Its more popular in the states and Japan as they used NTSC up until now and NTSC's resolution is lower than PAL's.
