Is HD ever likely on terrestrial?</blockquote>

<div>I run DVB-S, but on a greenfield - I'd probably go DVB-T. Mostly because with satellite you won't get Channel 4, More 4, E4 etc without getting a CAM and Sky card (even the free card they give for twenty quid) which introduces all sorts of instability issues with Myth. For the plain vanilla programmes broadcast in the clear (BBC1, 2, 3, ITV, etc) - I think S and T are much of a much.</div>
