Oh well. They probably want to get as much as they can subscriptions to delay the mpeg2>mpeg4 switch...
October this year two (german) FTA channels starting here in europe via ASTRA 19.2 degrees East in mpeg4/H.264 HDTV. They are ProSieben HD and Sat.1 HD. A few days later Premeire (german PAY TV) launches it's Premeire HD called package (only 3 channels for now), also in mpeg4 HDTV. Later this year SKY (PAY TV) in the UK will launch a bigger package with HDTV channels, also in mpeg4.

Euro1080 with it's current programs HD1 and HD2/HD5 will start transmissions in Simulcast which is announced to be end in 2010 or ealier. Huh.

SIMULCAST, that's probably also used by some HDTV content providers "overseas". Eg. UPN.
