Digital TV and Radio - What's Next?On Tuesday August 3, Murray Niman, G6JYB, will give a talk to the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) titled Digital TV and Radio - What's Next? Have you switched yet? In March 2002 Murray G6JYB gave CARS a landmark talk on the then embryonic Freeview and TV switchover project that many now take for granted and can barely wait to complete. Now though there is a whole new raft of TV developments including the new DVB-T2 standard used by Freeview-HD, Project Canvas (Youview?) for Internet-TV and of course 3D. Hear why wideband ‘digital aerials’ and amplifiers are the last thing you now want when 4G-LTE comes to a street near you. Learn how there may be a further TV Switchover and digital dividend even before the current one is sold off. Meanwhile hard on the heels is Radio Switchover, recently enshrined in law by the Digital Economy Act and rapid developments by the Coalition, BBC and CEPT, but still not fully understood by public and others alike. So this the opportunity to hear first hand what it really means and to understand the latest acronyms – DAB+, DMB, DRM+, TPEG etc What does this all mean ? Get the latest update at the CARS meeting. The talk takes place on Tuesday August 3 at the Marconi Social Club (MASC), Beehive Lane, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, CM2 9RX. The doors open at 7:10 pm and the meeting gets underway at 7:30 pm. Car parking is free and a bar is available for refreshments. For directions see http://tinyurl.com/CARSmeeting
