FREESAT HD BOX AND
FREESAT INFORMATION ALTHOUGH ALREADY PUBLIC HAS NOT BEEN DEFINED OR EXPLAINED CLEARLY
BUT WE AT DOMAIN-HOLDINGS WILL TRY AND EXPLAIN FROM PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE WHAT IS EXPECTED
TO HAPPEN IN EARLY 2008.
FREESAT WILL BE CARRIED ON TWO PLATFORMS, YES WE SAID TWO, THIS OF COURSE DOES NOT TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT THE CABLE OR BROADBAND NETWORKS VIA MOBILE PHONES OR COMPUTERS. THE TWO
PLATFORMS KNOWN TO CARRY FREESAT TO BEGIN WITH ARE FREESAT AND SKY. THE TRANSMISSIONS
WILL BE SHARED BY THE TWO PLATFORMS.
THE TWO SETS OF "METADATA" MUST BE CARRIED IN THE SAME TRANSMISSION.
THE NEW FREESAT DATA MUST NOT AFFECT THE MILLIONS OF SKY RECEIVERS ALREADY BEING USED.
BBC RESEARCH AND INOVATION HAVE DESIGNED THE ARCHITECTURE AND SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
SO THAT FREESAT DATA IS EFFECTIVELY INVISIBLE TO NON FREESAT TVS AND SET TOP BOXES.
THIS STATEMENT HAS A RATHER AMBIGUOUS AND UNCLEAR MEANING AND THE PROBABLE CLARITY
MAY COME WHEN DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS REVEAL THEIR NEW BOXES.
READING DIFFERENT "WELL RESEARCHED PUBLIC DOCUMENTS", IT LOOKS AT FIRST GLANCE THAT
SKY RECEIVERS WILL GET.....read more!

BBC HD (HIGH DEFINITION) AND NEXT THE SHV (SUPER HI VISION).
THE BBC ARE NOT ALLOWING THE GRASS TO GROW UNDER THEIR FEET.
Even before we have had a chance to view the BBC ITV HD FREESAT it is being reported the BBC are
already in collaboration with NHK on their SHV system...read more!
BBC and NHK plan to work together to show Ultra-HDTV at the 2012 Olympics. The prospect of viewing in
Super Hi Vision of live pictures of selected sports on large screens at the 2012 London Olympics is very
interesting considering the picture is reportedly 16 times better than HD (high definition).
It may be premature to get excited about SHV as it has taken many years for HD (high Definition) to get
to the viewing stage we have now, so SHV (super hi vision) maybe a few years yet before full feature.

FREESAT HD DIGITAL BOX, FREESAT STANDARD DEFINITION BOX.
FREESAT RECEIVERS OR BOXES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN TWO VERSIONS.
It is expected that those on a budget
can buy a Freesat box with non HD ability, whereas others can purchase the higher spec. HD Freesat box.
Both boxes will have the expected EPG to select live sport,
national events, stunning natural history, landmark drama, world-class documentaries, and all for free.
The satellite dish size expected to be suitable for Freesat in U.K. can be anything from 45-60cms. dependent
on your U.K. location. Larger dish sizes would be ideal for viewers living in Ireland, Scotland and for some ex-pats
living overseas in Europe and beyond.
It should be noted anyone buying the standard Freesat receiver box can still view High Definition (HD) but the
picture viewed will be downscaled to standard definition using the normal scart lead.
Please also note anyone buying the higher spec HD receiver box can still use their standard definition TV but the
HD picture will be viewed downscaled.
To summarise; the ideal Freesat box would be the HD digital box if your future plans include the purchase of an HD
ready TV set.

HD FROM THE BBC HD AT 28.2 DEGREES EAST.
HD BBC LAST NIGHT TREATED THEIR LUCKY HD VIEWERS TO A PROGRAMME FEAST.
I watched two programmes last night as a matter of reporting on the blog here.
The BBC HD channel last night was unmissable from 10.00pm until midnight GMT time. First
we were treated to the programme "Mountain", with Griff Rhys Jones exploring the mountains
of Britain starting with the breathtaking and the beautiful Highlands of Scotland....how was the picture, the picture was jaw dropping amazing, for want of a better description.
The next programme was "Planet Earth", which has to be the best programme of it's kind ever released for public consumption and can only be described as programming in it's most perfect form.
The BBC HD pictures on this programme would not be out of place being repeated over and over again, the only problem would be shops selling LCD and PLASMA TV would need to evict customers from their shops.

35,000 Ex-Pats on Spains Costas Waiting to Switch to FREESAT TV.
With an estimated 35,000 SKY TV and FREESATFROMSKY Subscribers and Customers many have been swamping their local Satellite installers with requests for more information on FREESAT TV and they expect there may well be over 100,000 in the first year taking up this new FREE HDTV Service when it launches in the Spring of 2008.
Most current users are reporting they would like the ability to record what they want when they want and as all HD DIGITAL BOXES from FREESAT will be supplied with PVR hard drives as standard across the entire FREESAT TV PLATFORM, it seems it will be happy days for FRRESAT TELEVISION Future!

FREESAT CHANNELS ON SATELLITE.
Many people ask, "How many channels can you pick up from satellite.
The answer is very simple but it must be one of the worst kept secrets.
There are thousands upon thousands of FREESAT free-to-air channels
on satellites dotted across the Clark Belt (so named after the well known
scientist Arthur C. Clark) 33,000 thousand miles above the equatorial
line in outer space. Arthur C. Clark made possible the idea that if a
satellite could be placed at the 33,000 mile orbit above earth it would
remain in a geostationary position with respect to earth.
These satellites which are all around the earth are from all different
Countries.
When you install a satellite dish with a motor attached you are opening
up a whole new world of FREESAT or Free-To-Air channels that do not
need a subscription of any kind, although in all countries you can buy
subscriptions which usually consist of Films, Sport, etc, in fact some
subscription services ask you to pay again for programmes you have
already paid for with your Television Licence.
BBC and ITV are opening up a whole new world of Television for everyone
with their innovative FREESAT venture and the promise of 80 channels
with at least 8 HD initially is only the tip of the iceberg as far as FREESAT
is concerned. Anybody deciding to buy the FREESAT box will be able to
fill the box up to it's capacity(possibly unlimited?) with Free-to-air
channels simply by adding a motor (cost approx. £60) to the dish and
by using the same single cable from the receiver a simple press of a
button can get you thousands of choices for Free thanks to FREESAT.
