I have no details, but acorrding to Haaretz, it is not standard DVB-T,  
but a modified version of DVB-T that may have compatability problems.

As for quality, there is only a limited number of bits available, and  
the IBA decided to split them among 6 low quality channels instead of  
1 or 2 HDTV ones.

The idea was to reduce the number of transmitters, moving over to the  
ones used for Channel 2, dropping the ones used for Channel 1, and  
adding channels 10,33 and 99. The plan is to by 18 months from now be  
using less transmitters total than Channel 2 uses today.

BTW, are any of them 16:9?

Geoff.
