If one buys a new LCD HD ready TV, will that be abl;e to 'handle' the new signal? or will u still need 'another box'?

 

[MoHaG]

soz for the stupid question but what exactly will be the highlights of the move to Digital for us the consumers? Will we get better quality signal?

Spectrum gets freed to be used for other things...

 

[MoHaG]

Another stupid question...
How does this affect dstv subscribers? I mean if you dont use the normal tv aerial at all..
I'm assuming it has no affect, since the satellite signal is already digital

DSTV is using DVB-S with MPEG2, I've heard that the terrestrial variation would be using DVB-T with MPEG-4

What encryption: NagraVision 1 like Sentech Vivid Bouquet or Irdeto 2 on the DSTV Bouquet?

Would be nice, then we can skip the upgrade from MPEG2 to H264 capable hardware.
