They are, but they are simulcast with the PAL analogue version as
well. So the requirements for setting broadcast levels still apply.

But where.. its digital all the way to the transmitter.
Then it is split into analogue and digital.


I was impressed by the beginning of "The History of Scotland" the other
day, watching on analogue. It started in 16:9 letterbox (or maybe even
more - I didn't measure) for the landscapes etc. in the early sequences,
then the picture "grew" vertically over about 30 seconds (presumably by
cropping the edges) up to a 14:9 ratio. very smoothly too.

So someone still cares.
