There is a very interesting thread going on here that is putting forward a very well argued case that Ofcom aka the Govt are going to screw up digital television for all of us who watch it via a terrestrial transmitter. Picture quality on both SD and HD is going to nosedive because the Govt wants to try and sell off the analogue bandwidth post-switchover. ofcom want to stuff the existing bandwidth with more rubbish home-shopping channels and that means that the bandwidth available for the the channels will go down. Result - rubbish picture quality.
So - as I'm going through a complete revamp/forward planning exercise for the home AV systems - I'm reluctantly thinking that we'll need to get a satellite dish to pick up FreeSat.
I have a question. Are there any regulations (EEC/Health and safety/Building Regs/Human Rights/whatever other cockamamy daft regulations are out there) that say I can't fix the dish to my chimney?
