List of IDTVs and STBs incompatible with 8k
Ofcom have stated that around 75000 IDTVs and also all ITV Digital boxes will not be compatible with the final format of DTT (8k).
I've created this (hopefully to become sticky) thread so that any information regarding which IDTVs are incompatible (or indeed which early IDTVs or ITV boxes which surprisingly do turn out to be compatible) can be posted.

maby it was metaphorical
The Echostar T101 may be incompatable with 8k (it is one of the few Freeview STBs not to mention 8k compatability in the spec).
The 9850T I had only supported 2K according to the manual.
in around 6 years time (big brothers switch over time from anal-og to digitalis) we will have all thrown our £50 STB's away for something that......... can get 8K, as well as turn the lights on when we get home,......... set the hard drive sureal recorder to our frame of mind, so we can just imagine what we wanted to watch and it's there.......... and know what sort of day we have had, so we all have comedy, sport, music or violence shown........ spray the apartment with our favourite perfume ( it will know what mood we are in ),........ have arranged dinner and drinks for two on the patio........transmitted our daily input to Big Mother ( cos they WILL be watching us ).......put the cat out and arranged the nocturnal revitalising/reconditioning area so we can catch up on some real Structured Health Input Time,......... advised us that OFCOM have decided that PAL 625 Nicam was probably better anyway and doesn't cause headaches from low masts,.... and allow us to catch up on as many digital spy forum re-runs as we can take in.
Its only rock and roll!

The future is already here my Radio has a beverage holder on it and this computer company called AOL keep sending me drinks mats in the post
Is that the firm that got hoisted for a few million at heathrow a couple of years back ?
Henry;)
I wish maybe if it was AOL wouldnt send me so many CD's do make good retro style Drink Mat or coaster gives the house a real 70's feel especially with some stuck on the walls as well
Did you know what the abbreviation for that was going to be before you wrote it?
well..................:rolleyes: perhaps !

I love AOL, do you know that as well as drinks mats , those lovely discs they insist on sending by post make excellent bird scarers. I give them to my family who live in the country and they tie them near plants and vegetables they have just planted and they scare away the birds. I bet AOL never knew how helpful they were being !
yep, I told my ITD58 that it was in France and it tuned into everything except BBC1 allegedly at 8K
BUT early Nokias do no support it.
You should be able to tell from the manual and (probably) the firmware level if it does.
Mine is an early Nokia 9850T and so does not - although I have no way of checking it.
My philips 6370 is even earlier - so no chance!
I presume the 'silver' (refurbished or otherwise) Nokias will support 8K - maybe the Nokia web site can tell you?
If the refurbished Nokias can support 8K then maybe they will upgrade them - but then again it will probably cost more than a new box - so why bother.
Perhaps old boxes will start a long trek North and West out of the South East and East Anglia - to continue their long lives in other areas?
Perhaps I will be able to test my Nokia when French signals beam across the channel in the summer.
Boxes that support 8K will just work - just like those that switch modes between 16and 64QAM like they all do - you won't have to flick switches or anything!
