I had a short peek inside today. It’s called HD1 and is a brand new bus for outside broadcast. Producing HD video and 5.1 sound. The total area inside the bus when fully extended is about 60 square meters. It has already been used during the Norwegian skiing championship last weekend. Next trip is for the winter olympics in Torino, Italy.

Is this some kind of test-bus for getting experience with HD-broadcasts? Do they sell this content to other HD-distributors? In that case, I guess there are some nice anonymous HD-feeds on different satellites around…
