Does anyone have any idea when the UK will stop supporting DVD-T in favour of a DVD-T2 only system?.
With 700 MHz clearances and COM 7 / COM 8 closure happening in mid 2020 or sooner?, terrestrial TV viewers will be losing BBC4 HD, BBC NEWS HD and 20 or so other lesser offerings due to the loss of these two MUXs unless something changes between now and then.
The answer seems to be stop supporting DVD-T receivers and transmit only DVB-T2, this will put all MUXs up to 40Mbps (from 24Mbs) and remove the need for simulcasts of BBC1/BBC1 HD etc. giving us more than enough space for current needs.
But will a DVB-T2 only system be introduced in mid 2020, my guess is no, so any guesses when?
