HDTV shortage hits pre-World Cup Europe {Engadget HD}
Mar 22nd 2006 4:26AM Hi ya all,
I'm Dutch, and over here in Holland we expect to have the first commercial stations up and running HDTV in June.
About the shortage of HDTV's I can say the following.
I just went to Media Market (sort of like Sears, but then only for elektronics) and inquired about the availability of 1080P HDTV's of Phillips (what else should i buy as a dutch man ;-) ) They said they are extremely hard to get by. In the store alone they had only 2 sets capable of 1080p. Nuff said...
However i am quite optimistic how things will develop in June.... Because the amount of people we have here in Holland per square kilometer ( is about 300 and equals Bangladesh) our country us highly densitively populated. Almost a staggering 98 percent of households have cable television, and it will come to you as no surprise that the DVB-C standard will be used for transmission of HDTV. Therefore it is possible to exploit the market pretty quickly with HDTV services, without any real high risk. That's why in June already we will have World Cup Soccer, National Geographic HD, Discovery HD, Film 1, Sport 1 (both old Canal+), HD1, HD5, as starter HDTV Channels, with all programming HDTV 100% at a time.
It is a bliss living in this densly populated country I'd say then... :-)
BBC testing high-def {Engadget HD}
Mar 8th 2006 3:19AM BBC is not the first in Europe to start this!!!!
The Dutch NOS (National Broadcast Service) is going to let cable companies relay the HD signal (1080i) to cable customers throughout the entire country.
Alongside with that, other programming like Discovery HD etc. is going to be available. Even at this moment we can recieve Euro1080 (now called HD1 and HD5) throught te satelite.
Now i just haven to buy an HDTV....
