Just wanted to remind that we are currently receiving 3 HD channels per
multiplex using DVB-T, no absolute need for DVB-T2 in this, and the
picture is fine enough (probably won't be better with DVB-T2, since the
extra capacity will be used to add a fourth HD channel).
But yes, there was a need to change the receiver because of H.264/AVC.
But for people that had only an SD TV, they obviously had to buy a new
TV set anyway, and it is now mandatory to have an integrated TNT HD
receiver in those devices, so this may not be such a visible problem,
except for the early adopters.
