    You can get the HD freeview from Crystal Palace?

    How far away are you from it?

      I'm guessing it isn't really HD. I can't find any mention of DVBT2, which is what it needs in the UK.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        I'm in Cambridge.

        Certainly looks like HD - I don't know. Switches between SD and HD? automatically dependant on what the channel is broadcasting.

        Nope not looking like HD, I'm receiving on the sandy heath transmitter, but the quality is superb. Why do I need more resolution than this?

          You don't I guess - I was just getting all excited that one of the companies I evangelise about had produced something cutting edge (a DVB-T2 receiver).

          AFAIK, the Freeview HD signals are MPEG-4 / DVB-T2 so what you are getting is upscaled SD.

              I do.

              I'm the only contractor in the office so by the time these permies are away home I turn on the 6 O' Clock news...
