Yes, Nine receives content in 4K, Iād say that they would produce the news and such in 4K too.
Just checked the specs of my 2017 Sony Tv and it has DVB-T2. So when they do the trials I should be able to receive them provided they are not at very low strength, or on UHF 29 as my UHF antenna is pointed at Knights Hill.

Pro tip: The model number of your TV can sometimes be found on the remote.
Thatās the case with my current TV and unfortunately, it doesnāt seem to do DVB-T2.
Most would not do T2.
Iām just waiting for them to do a Mt Dandy test and I can then receive it on my TVheadend server
The Australian Grand Prix has a five day HPON television licence for Albert Park that expires on Sunday. (They also applied for an FM licence but it was refused).

Very weak from my location.
What is being broadcast? Is it encrypted?
We are yet to even see a 1080p broadcast not to mention the jump to 2160pā¦ Interesting times ahead
Any UHD TV broadcast would probably be 2160i.
I really doubt that. Interlacing is a throwback to the days of CRT TVs, and interlaced video does not perform very well on flat screens without good processing techniques. Progressive scanning is the only way to go these days.

Wonder why it was knocked back, theyād been doing special event FM broadcasts in the past
Wont the F1 be filmed in 4k this weekend?
I donāt disagree, but I note 1080i is still heavily favoured by FTA and FOXTEL here.
Current set up in Germany: TV channels and Radio bitrates DAB+ DTT FIBER Satellite Cable OTT
(there are Bitrates for each channel if you click on more)
Itās 5.75EUR per month or 69EUR if you PAY for the full year upfront.
Also three channels (two shopping and 1 religious) are brodcasting in 540p, not 1080p.
A lot of the channels also include 5.1 Surround (in E-AC3 or AAC dependent on the channel).
And some regions still have a barebones DVB-T1 service.
Important to note that in Germany, lots of apartments would receive all their free-to-air television channels through analogue coaxial cable. I presume that lots of body corporates simply pay the fee and have a bunch of boxes in a corner somewhere, which is then fed into analogue for distribution around the building.
At least, thatās how it worked in quite a few places I lived. Every apartment individually still has to pay the GEZ (German version of the television licence fee), even if they donāt own a television!

These days digital is FTA on cable as well. The site I linked also shows the current channels for Vodafone Cable in Munich.
http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?liste=2&live=207&lang=en (all the green ones are unencrypted, which includes commercial channels in SD and the public ones in HD)
Often the fees for cable are included in the rent.
And the TV Licence in Germany is more a public broadcaster licence as it includes radio and the online services. Thatās also why people without a TV still have to pay (they include radios and other digital devices such as smartphones and computers as they can acces the online live streams and on-demand services). In 2015 they had an annual budget of little more than 8bn EUR, which makes them the most expensive public broadcasters in the World.
Really? Theyāre broadcasting on 99.7 FM right now
No way. The news is produced in HD (1080). And thatās a relatively recent thing.
And thereās next to no content that Nine has thatās even made in 4k.
