Digital Terrestrial Channels in Israel are supposed to launch in July 2009. They will include Channels IBA 1, Channel 2, Channel 10, Channel 33 and the Knesset (Parliament) channel. They will all be transmitted FTA (not encrypted).
Viewers will need to buy a special receiver so that it would interface with the widely used analogue TV sets, with an estimated cost of ~400 NIS (~ $100) and the possibility to offer it at reduced cost to low or zero income viewers.
I am interested in receiving now the test transmissions and am wondering if anybody in Israel has any success in receiving them and which receiver they are using.
I read somewhere that UHF channel 49 will be used and that the Norwegian system has been adapted.
How does the Freeview receiver in the UK compares to this spec and what does the Norwegian system means.
Thanks for any replies, as this is all new to me.
