Hi, Antoin There has been mention of MPEG4 in the teednr docs for the 3 commercial mux. It would seem that RTc9 favour MPEG4 and the possibility of HD. This is a good thing and is forward looking. It means that UK hardware (cheap now and mass produced) will not work in the 26 counties. But the suggestion of MPEG4 does not make it a minimum standard and as I read it it is being set as a maximum. If RTc9 applied this logic on MPEG to radio they would run a mile from DAB, but they want DAB so much they\'re shutting down MW to help fund DAB. Crazy. I wonder though if the spectrum effectiveness are lesser our greater with HD mpeg4 (not standard definition mpeg4) versus mpeg2 standard definition. The RTc9 mpeg4 argument also makes a laugh of the RTc9 DRM argument, RTc9 know they need to innovate and lead DTT MPEG 4 to drive down STB prices on new tech. The same logic applies to DRM which RTc9 now stall in favour of a analogue half power LW with no MW fallback. RTc9 do not have limitless resources, but that is no excuse for the differences in transmission planning between TV radio, between analogue digital between old and new. RTc9 have a clear mandate from Gov. (March 2007) for International TV and (added at the last minute) International Radio. We need a viewers listeners association that has teeth (and will bite), the suits in RTc9 are playing a numbers game as the only thing they seem to care about is share and competition with the commercial TV radio companies in Ireland.On reason given for MW shutdown was not many listen to it anymore. Based on this logic RTc9 National Symphony Orchestra, Concert Orchestra, Philharmonic Choir, Cf3r na nd3g and the RTc9 Vanbrugh Quartet should expect the P45 any day. This line of argument I don\'t support. What is needed on the lawn of Montrose is 12 foot letters reminding the organisation that they are a public service broadcaster not commercial. This means both taking unpopular decisions but also deciding to serve the unpopular.
