Terrestrial DTV in the UK - Channel offsets

Does this mean they will end with analogue switch-off?

No, the use of offsets will continue after DSO.

Will the decoders in affected areas need a rescan even if the channel
numbers on paper remain the same?

Yes, regardless of offsets.

Yes. As Andy says regardless of offsets. Without exception, all transmitters
will have at least the three PSB muxes moving allocation (normally to occupy
three of the present four or five analogue channels) and even if they're not,
the post DSO muxes will be different configurations, so that alone will
require a rescan.

Ah, that will be where those System I-1 analogue transmitters come in
then, with their reduced lower sideband (0.75MHz instead of 1.25). That
wouldn't work on E67/68 of course, but surely E69 is within the
broadcast band, and therefore spillable-into, even though it's not used
by any UK tv transmitters?

There's the "Broadcast band" and the "UK Broadcast Band" Ch69 has other
allocations in the UK. Rather like Band 2. It was 88-108 (approx) but in
the UK it was originally 88 - 95. Then 88-100, then 88 -104 and finally
88-108.

There are RSLs below 88.0MHz.

I wrote approx. The band actually starts at 87.5MHz

There's quite often RSL's on 87.7

That really wasn't very good english were it ;-)

You sound like just the chap to answer this, then, Charles: Channel B14
(216-221MHz) was always included in channel frequency lists, though as
far as I know there were never any transmitters allocated there in the
UK. Was it not available to UK broadcasters after all?

can't help. by the time I got involved with frequency allocation, Band 3
had stopped being available for broadcasting in the UK. I'm sure you're
correct, UK broadcast bands always seemed to be limited by other people.
