BSkyB will start it's HDTV package mid of this month, and the BBC will also start via Astra 2 28.2 degrees east at the end of this month with their HDTV transmissions.

The BBC ones will be FTA, so even citizens in Germany could watch them if they have a suitable antenna (in the east you'd need more than 1.5m dish).

So, I'm still waiting for a suitable receiver. Nothing seen from the announced dvb-s2 card from TechnoTrend.... only €120 this time. Nothin seen, argh.
The card from KNC ONE is not freely available, if you have really luck you can catch and buy one for approx €200.
Humax, Pace and Philips htdv mpeg4 receivers are PITA so far, I'll wait for the KATHREIN 901!
