Thanks, Seán, for the big info.

Yesterday 2 channels started via ASTRA 19.2 degrees east to transmit in DVB-S 2 (mpeg4, H.264). They are "ProSieben HD" and "Sat.1 HD" in german (the german versions, not those for Austria or Switzerland).
We can get a signal (approx. 51%) on that trp., but nothing more.

It's just impossible to receive them at all with the currently available hardware.
Premiere has set back the start of Premiere HD to December, hoping for the availibility of the DVB-S2 capable receivers then...

Interesting is, that the BBC is currently testing HDTV in mpeg2 and mpeg4 too.
