I think all h264-encoded DVB-T broadcasts from New Zealand, Norway and
Denmark use LATM. So all who have a TV card in those (and nearby)
countries and record TV gets files with LATM. So at least there it is
common. I do not know what will happen when more and more countries
start transmitting HD over DVB-T but it may be that even more couties
will use the same format.
