Yep - though the Aussies and the US have a pretty dated and inefficient system based on late 90s RF and MPEG2 technology. DVB-T2 with H264 - which we should have for Freeview by 2009 (hardware by 2010 probably) should be more efficient - though if Ofcom have their way they will reduce the quality to sludge by trying to shoehorn 3 or 4 HD channels into one mux...
