543915 2007-04-26 11:34:00 So if I bought a DVB-T tuner now, what could I watch? TV3 and C4? Or not? techie (7177)
543916 2007-04-26 11:54:00 Nothing at the moment, best you avoid buying any dvb t type tuner at this stage. Wait for early 2008 when DVB-T should start from 10 main sites (see the Freeview website for coverage areas) The DVb-T service should include Prime and they have stated Prime when it goes Digital Terrestrial will be in HDTV. They will be in MPG4 apsattv (7406)

Which one is it?

So far I see people trying to sell gear, and news releases...

That's most likely the only thing that would convince me to go Freeview until they close down the analog network.... or unless they get NASA TV..:-) But I suspect that Prime in HD will just be SD upscaled..

I don't see Prime on the channel list? Is sky acting like children?

Hehe...Sky have an official reason for leaving Prime off the list but I suspect there may be a dash of sulky pants going on too. If I recall correctly that official reason has to do with their current re-broadcast rights for certain sporting events...like the Super 14.
