DAB TV (See also DAB Radio) Digital TV in the UK got off to a bad start, when ITV Digital (on Digital) close down because of its sport sponsors wanting too much money (Greedy lot) :) luckily the licence was quickly taken up and a new Digital network lunched named Freeview. The Digital TV Group (DTG) is the industry association for digital television in the UK, an independent body facilitating the rapid roll out of digital television and convergence across the communications industry. Its membership consists of the BBC, BSkyB and OFCOM to Sony, Philips and Panasonic; Dixons and Comet through to the Consumers' Association, RNIB and RNID. Its agenda covers all aspects of future technology, public affairs and the setting, promotion and interpretation of standards. The DTG was formed in 1995 to set technical standards for the implementation of digital terrestrial television in the UK and now encompasses all digital TV platforms and convergence issues on a world-wide basis. In addition to the now successful freeview, there is a new company offering additional channels for a small cost, Top Up TV provides a decoder card than can be used with old Itv Digital boxes, or supply you with a new box, or Conditional Access Module (CAM) for your TV |
