    BBC HDTV receivers, any reception?

    Hi, anyone receiving the BBC hdtv trial broadcasts yet? They seem determined to delay things so that no one can get equipment in time to watch the world cup. I don't want to use SKY anymore and would like to use an independent set-top box such as a pace or even better a PC card which I have seen on the web in the US but not in UK/Ireland. ATI do a HD card but it is not sold here and I don't know what standards will be required, the BBC site says contact SKY even though the BBC broadcasts in the clear.

      Thanks Anonymez, very experimental

      The software driven skystar card method seems quite hit or miss, maybe the ati card will offer better performance if it is ever offered over here. I will not be upgrading my PC just to get a jerky impression of the BBC trial.
      (Next Day) Just rechecked the US site and the ATI card I had in mind is for cable only, any one know of a HDTV satellite receiver?
