[mythtvnz] Getting DVB-T reception

[Neil Bertram]

That's interesting. It would also be interesting to see if Sky add a 
DVB-T service in the future (using the same frequencies they have). It 
would give them a lot more HD capacity one would think... It would be a 
good reason to phase out analogue UHF, if they want to switch those 
frequencies to digital...

Anyone picked up a whiff of such plans?
