Hi,
I've read that they are going to start trial for HD DVB on Freeview

They mention September, October and Decembre 2009, does anybody know
more detailed info?
Is it using the same transmission, just a different codec, or do we need
new receivers?
In my understanding they will start new DVB-T2 standard and due to that
new devices are needed. There is no DVB-T2 devices publicly sold
currently. Few vendors like Pace and Humax have public prototypes.
Basically new demodulator chips are needed and I don't know if there is
any publicly released.
Finland will also start DVB-T2 SFN (Single Frequency Network) with h.264
during next year. There is two VHF muxes currently reserved for that.
