I didint know that. That is really annoying oh well i guess i will have to buy an A3

That's a good point. Unless the accessory does some kind of on-the-fly transcode to another format, which seems doubtful

I doubt it. The DMB accessory (for Korea) was a natural fit for the A2 as DMB carries an MPEG-4 signal. In Europe, DVB-T is MPEG2, and it's unlikely that a device that plugs in the side of an A2, using it's power supply, will be able to transcode MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 on-the-fly.

Having said that, I'd love to be wrong.
