It looks like a disaster waiting to happen if ofcom's planned channel changes go through in 2013.

For people served by the winter hill transmitter yes.

All the freeview multiplexes will still be broadcasting but ofcom intend to sell some of the digital spectrum freed up by switching analogue television off to the mobile operators to provide 4G services. As some of the winter hill multiplexes are broadcast so close to the space earmarked to be sold off this may leave some people in that area without freeview due to interference.

However ofcom are planning to make the successful bidder of the spectrum pay to put measures in place to reduce the interference there 4G services will cause to the winter hill transmitter area which should reduce the number of people who would be left without freeview. Its unlikely to get rid of the problem completely though

This is typical. Get rid of analogue which you could get virtually anywhere no matter what the weather. Switch it all over to digital be it Freeview, Freesat or if you choose Sky, which all suffer from their own forms of picture degradation dependent on weather cicumstances. Then introduce another element to further mess up the picture quality. Who will have to buy and install the new aerials and filters being talked about if this comes off, us without a doubt. Digital might be the way to go forward but at least with analogue you always had something.

All thing being planned are set out here:-

'Really' to replace Dave Ja Vu

From Broadcast:

Quote:UKTV is replacing its Freeview plus one channel Dave Ja Vu with paid-for lifestyle channel Really.


Really, which launched in May 2009 to target young women with shows such as Tool Academy, Bizarre ER and Snog, Marry, Avoid, will bolster UKTV’s free-to-air presence from 2 August.

It will join existing Freeview channels Dave and Yesterday, which respectively cover the entertainment and factual genres for UKTV.

Really will air from 8am-2am and continue to be available on Sky and Virgin Media.

Darren Childs, chief executive of UKTV, said there would be further investment in the channel further to the shift in distribution.

“We’ve already got the two leading channels in the genre – Home and Good Food. By securing a free-to-air slot for Really and investing considerably in its content, we are confident UKTV will continue to dominate the genre,” he said.

The channel is managed by Clare Laycock, interim director of lifestyle and channel head of Really, with its shift to Freeview overseen by UKTV’s interim controller Christian Drobnyk.
