support within VDR. More and more channels will start using it (not necessarily HD channels either, H264 increases the bandwidth of the satellite platform) and there is already plenty of fine content out there. E.g. the Premiere HD channels, Sky UK HD channels and the bouquet of HD channels on Thor (Canal Digital). The Polish HD channels are already improving and there will be HD channels as part of Digitalb in December. It has now gone behind demonstration loops and if you check out Kingofsat's website you will see there is now an abundance of channels from different providers.
please, don't forget about Russian :) http://lyngsat.com/europe.html
22 open h.264 channels with standard definition from Express 40E + 25 irdeto h.264 channels from Rikor with SD on Intelsat 904 at 60.0°E + 4 hdtv via-channels from Eutelsat Sesat & W4 at 36.0°E
I hope the VDR will have good hdtv-future
