Polski Operator Telewizyjny (POT), the joint venture set up by the Polish national commercial stations Polsat and TVN, says it will start DTT test transmissions in Warsaw and the Wielkopolska region of Poland by May 30. Employing MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compression, it will also trial HD (1080i) and DVB-H. The channels distributed in the DTT transmissions will be Polsat, TVN and TV4. Separately, local reports indicate that the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) has surprisingly allocated a channel in the Silesian city of Wroclaw hitherto used by TP EmiTel for DTT trials to analogue services.
