I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did Europe abandon standard transmission?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The first HDTV transmissions in Europe, albeit not direct-to-home, began in 1990, when the Italian broadcaster RAI used the HD-MAC and MUSE HDTV technologies to broadcast the 1990 FIFA World Cup.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
