<H1>Digital TV and Radio - What's Next?</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>On Tuesday August 3, <STRONG>Murray Niman,
G6JYB</STRONG>, will give a talk to the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society
(CARS) titled <EM><STRONG>Digital TV and Radio - What's
Next?</STRONG></EM></FONT></P>
<P><EM><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Have you switched yet?<BR>Think you are
ahead the game?</STRONG></FONT></EM></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>So this the opportunity to hear first hand what it
really means and to understand the latest acronyms – DAB+, DMB, DRM+, TPEG
etc</FONT></P>
<P><EM><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>What does this all mean ?<BR>How do I
avoid wasting money in the shops on kit that may become obsolete?</STRONG>
</FONT></EM></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Get the latest update at the CARS meeting.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The talk takes place on Tuesday August 3 at the
Marconi Social Club (MASC), Beehive Lane, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, CM2
9RX.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The doors open at 7:10 pm and the meeting gets
underway at 7:30 pm.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Car parking is free and a bar is available for
refreshments.</FONT></P>
