freesat UK digital HD service launch today

UK Digital Satellite TV has been around for a couple of years, but today it launches as one integrated system with 7 day programme guide all setup!

The DVR (Digital Video Recorder) option isn't available yet, but TVs from Panasonic are on sale with HD support integrated now! Channels now include BBC HD and soon ITV1 HD. Now just need Channel4 to exit their tie-in with Murdock's BskyB and a couple more channels ;) Use MythTV DVR to share those programmes around the house.

I have heard rumours about the Ethernet port on the boxes as well. The assumption is that this will allow iPlayer integration at some point, but the really interesting thing is that there *may* be some form of open API available. If so, this might get really interesting.
