Prices tumble in Oz


Word reaches us from Australia that discount supermarket chain ALDI is selling HD DVB-T receivers for less than AUS $100 (or about EUR 60) and SD receivers for AUS $35 (about EUR 21). MPEG-2 video coding is used for both SD and HD services in Australia, where 7MHz channel bandwidths are used.

The attached photo shows that the HD box outputs 576p, 576i, 720p and 1080i video, with a range of connections including HDMI and DVI.
