| 551637 | 2007-05-22 01:34:00 | more than likely it will need a cam but i suspect that wont happen until next year when freeview goes to HD on the terrestrial service. Hitech, Any rumors on the grapevine what time next year HD will be offered. For the Olympics in August ?? |

| 551638 | 2007-05-22 02:04:00 | So the HD feed will be on the terrestrial service before the satellite service? :confused: Kind of like a beta test before the rest of us Kiwi's can see what all the huff is about. |

| 551640 | 2007-05-22 06:50:00 | if sky and freeview need a disk each and then we get a few more players...... www.register-herald.com |

High Definition will not be on the satellite service. I dont think it's possible to run all channels on high def at once as they share bandwidth and high definition hogs about 12-24mbits/s I think. |

| 551643 | 2007-05-23 10:54:00 | High Def is possible on satellite as sky are going to launch it next year, it will no doubt cost sky a few million to do it but i would say not many channels will be in HD due to the very high cost and the amount of bandwidth it takes up. | Hitech (9024) | ||

Say 1 movie, 2 sport, NatGeo and 20 pay per view.. |

| 551645 | 2007-05-27 23:23:00 | Good news for sky tv subscribers wanting freeview. In the link im about to post theirs a paragraph that says sky tv subscribers are able to watch the freeview channels on skys decoders however there has been a delay, So don't all rush out and buy a freeview kit yet for those of you wanting freeview channels as well as the v8 supercar channel. I knew sky had an ace up their sleeve. www.stuff.co.nz |

| 551646 | 2007-05-28 01:01:00 | however there has been a delay[/url] Probably because they started rolling out an upgrade and it was cutting people off until they manually entered a setting change. Sky have more than an ace up their sleeve they've just raised their prices :groan: |
