They have started test transmissions of 728p over the air (terrestrial) in my area and I had no plans of jumping on just yet. However, when playing around with the system, I noticed that my Hauppauge NovaT DVB-receivers were actually able to receive this channel. It's not supposed to do that judging from the specifications, but the test transmissions have one part where the image is divided in an SD and an HD half to make you see the difference and I sure could.
My picture was not up to speed (running a few seconds and stalling a few on live-tv), so there clearly is a performance issue somewhere.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on? It would be interesting to figure this out, as HDTV is on the to-do list (of course)
The things I'm particularly interested in are:
1) If the NovaT:s are enough to receive HDTV at 728p or if I need to get another receiver. Sticking to Hauppauge would make sense - any experience with the new HVR4000?
2) Where I would get performance bottlenecks? See signature for FE/BE specs - nothing fantastic. I have another FE with more power, but it works the same.
Cheers,
