I wish plans for HD were coordinated properly across different EU countries. Ireland is already in the position that the 2009 launch of digital services are going to use some weird DVB-T / MPEG-4 AVC hybrid. The rollout will be a bloody disaster when people discover their Freeview / DVB-T branded TVs don't work.

The article suggests it might be possible to create a CAM for MPEG-4, but chances are if it were true, that it would still be an additional expense for users, and probably wouldn't integrate with any of the built-in services of the TV.
