This is interesting stuff, and encouraging.  It's obviously early days, 
but does this imply that this device/tuner doesn't work with SD dvb?  Is 
this expected?  Is it likely to do so later?

Browsing the Freeview website yesterday I noticed that Tesco has an HD 
stb for GBP 30.  The reviews spoke of freezes needing power cycling.  It 
has DVMI and component outputs.

My email address notwithstanding, I have no close connection with Tesco 
- and dvb-t2 HD  in my area is still a few months away.
