Does anyone know how many new channels will be on DTT when we all go Digital
?

If not why are we going to spend millions on going digital when then public
will pick up the cost by Taxes & new boxes or IDTV's?

How long is a piece of string?

I haven't heard that any further MUXes were planned.

None.

So the Govt. can sell off the extra space in the UHF band.

A switch to 64QAM, however, is.

Hello,

If you look at all the rubbish on freeview now then selling off extra space
might not be a bad idea. Some channels are on a 24 hour loop with the same
4 programmes, then that repeats each week. That is wy the channel that
charges £1/day for a preview will not allow you to pick which channel you
want to watch all day. They pick the times so you don't see all the repeats
!

You could have hundreds of new channels but there is only enough new
good quality content to fill around one or two channels.

Nobody knows, at least not officially, since it is not yet known how many of
the freed up bandwidth will be sold/turned over to DTT. But expect up to a
maximum of ten for each UHF number converted.

???

Who is going to be spending millions? To do what? The idea of the sell-off
is to MAKE millions for the State!

I think that it is pretty much inevitable.

What about all the hundreds of thousands of films there are?

There's room for about a dozen film channels without all the repeats the Sky
ones have.
