Vestel's T8300 DVB-T2 is the world's first to be certified by Freeview.  Vestel and Cabot have worked together with the BBC, DTG and Freeview as partners to develop and certify the T8300 set-top box so that it complies with the latest D-Book 6.1, Freeview HD logo requirements and DVB-T2 standard.

Vestel is expecting to be the first to market. Mr. Turan Erdogan, President of Vestel Foreign Trade said, “We’re extremely pleased to announce the world’s first Freeview HD certified product for UK market. Our Freeview HD box will be available in the market in March-2010. Our DVB-T2 TV development is ongoing and we are expecting to have Vestel DVB-T2 TV certified in a month and launch before world cup. When our products are in production in 2010, we will be ready to launch in other countries in Europe which are already making plans to enable HD services broadcast with DVB-T2 technology.”
