BBC: WK voetbal in HDTV over satelliet.

[Gast]

Hier staan wat screenshots van de testuitzendingen van de BBC. Ze doen de testuitzendingen via 33 oost.

 

 

Er gaan speculaties dat ze misschien toch gaan encrypten.

Citaat:

Transponder 13 on the Astra 2A satellite, downlink frequency, 11954 MHz Horizontal will almost certainly be used for the BBC's new High Definition Televison (HDTV) service.

Astra 2A has a much wider footprint than the Astra 2D satellite currently being used by the BBC. This raises the question as to whether the BBC will adopt some form of encryption for the new services.

 

Of toch weer niet.

Citaat:

BBC director general Mark Thompson has pledged to deliver free-to-air HDTV on all BBC digital platforms "as soon as practical", which is expected to be by about 2010.

 

Afwachten maar. Het lijkt mij echter dat je de meeste kans hebt op BBC in HDTV kijken via de sat en niet via joepiesie en andere kabelaars (moet je trouwens 1 euro per HDTV kanaal extra gaan betalen).

[rai]

Het gaat ook vooral op producties die de BBC zelf maakt of heeft gemaakt. Dus daar hebben ze zelf de rechten van. Wimbledon is dan ook geen probleem. Mogelijk dat ze wel problemen kunnen krijgen met het voetbal omdat de eigenaar een duits bedrijf is.

Word dus duidelijk FTA
