    The Harvey Norman Christmas 2008 16 page flyer in today's Sunday World are advertising televisions with either digital tuner(??), intergrated digital (freeview) or built in freeview digital tuner etc., but what really take the biscuit is a Philips DVD recorder on page 10 with an ATSC tuner :eek:. (ATSC is the North American standard for Digital TV). Maybe they are trying to encourage American tourists to shop in Harvey Norman. :rolleyes:

    Its time for the Dept of Communication, CEDA, RTE and the other stakeholders to get their act together and introduce a brand name and logo for Irish DTT to avoid the above confusion but now too late for the christmas market.

    ATSC is less use than a Chocolate Teapot in ALL of Europe, Middle East, Africa, Austrailia and probably most of Asia and South America. You can always eat the Chocolate.

    I notice the cheaper LCDs they are not mentioning the resolution.


    You know in the past some 42" Plasmas actually resampled PAL (Nominally 768x576 to avoid much aliasing on Analogue) to 640x480 for display (NTSC Progressive resolution).
