Government Finally Reveals When It Wants Freeview Gone

The blue underlined link is wrong, the box above is okay.
I read this information elsewhere and wasn't convinced that the government has made up it's s mind. Just a non-commitment to an extension or possibly condensing things down to three multiplexes. Who knows? Anyone questioned the king of Manchester on his views?
 
Fixed. When has the government ever made up its mind, flip flopping ability gives them a way to slither out of everything if it suits them. Maybe the Manc Messiah will see this as a cheap easy way to curry favor with the masses and extend the deadline.
 
Also note. The government green paper is a consultation document (possibly with the public). If it had been a white paper we'd know what they really think. Does anyone, apart from frog face, want to p off us oldies at the next election by threatening to take our TV away and/or make us pay extra for fast unlimited broadband?

Isn't that what nearly got Starmer into trouble during a Covid lock down?

Condensing down to three multiplexes would be fine with me and my parents and aunt. Mostly it would be the pointless low bit rate crap channels that are lost anyway, and all our gear is DVB-T2 compliant. Three muxes in T2 which no simulcasting of SD and HD channels would actually mean 120mbits of channels, where ignoring the T2 mux (since it's mostly simulcast at present) we currently have 5 * 24 = 120mbits of channels, so we might not lose much. We only need to get rid of enough channels to retain HD for the channels currently in it.
