There has been a topic in recent days over DVB-T2 and backwards compatibility to DVB-T and it has got me thinking that Freeview really need to start getting DVB-T2 compliant receivers into the New Zealand eco system.

With the demand for spectrum from cellular operators growing, along with more content (it seems but the loss of TVNZ 7 and the like could be taken a different way but that is a different topic) in the broadcasting world, T2 is the next step on the technological road map.

So the question is, when will Freeview start with T2? Because we are already getting a current round of tv replacement for DSO and to me it seems like we have missed an opportunity for getting a decent chunk of the devices in the market ready for the next step.
