QAM
 

If I recall correctly, when OnDigital was broadcasting they used QAM
64 which meant that they could fit it plenty of channels.

This was later switched to QAM 16 which was more stable.

Would it make sense to return to QAM 64 after analogue switch-off? I
wonder, since it would be good to have more choice available through
more channels, and if the system was previously flaky, then it need
not be if power levels are raised in future once analogue is not
around anymore.

AIUI all channels will be QAM 64 after ASO.

Ah! This would make sense if power levels could be raised and there
was demand for more channel space.

Altough I would much prefer to see more emphasis on quality and less on
quantity.

They will be

....more signal power...makes sense!


and there will be.


....more demand...more room would be needed for HD and I can see the
return of Sky Sports/Movies to DTT.

Technical qualifty could be improved with HD and higher power levels
for the rest.

Content quality...difficult...it is very subjective, but if there is
more choice (quantity) available, then there is a better chance,
perhaps, of having something for everybody.

No, unwell :-) it doesn't have the energy to go more than a few yards
without falling over.
