Now compared to DVB-T2 - a truely second generation standard - any of the first generation standards could be called "somewhat problematic" and ISDB-T is no exception. With DVB-T2 ready and on the market in the UK and in a few months in Finland and Sweden - it will most likely be better to use DVB-T2. The current higher prices for DVB-T2 receivers are expected to last only for some months. The cost of a later change from one standard to another - simulcasting, new TV sets etc. - can be very significant.

Brazil needs scale, that´s why they are trying to sell us their standard. We need to create jobs here in South Africa, and not Brazil! DVB offers more advantages and less cost overall, not to mention, DVB-T2 is the most advanced standard in the world!!!! I think the DVB -T2 is far better for South Africa than Brazil´s standard!
