Digital switch over query

Will radio channels on Freeview continue after switch over? And what
about DAB? Is that going to be affected?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm confused.

Yes they'll still be there as their part of the digital system anyway.

And no this is nothing to do with DAB at all -that- will for what its
worth .. will still be there...

DAB will die on it's own

Hi Hugh,

I see no reason whatsoever for radio channels on the digital
terrestrial system to stop. Indeed, with additional space, more could
be added!

There are no plans to stop DAB.

What a shame.
So will we have to go back to MW/LW when in 2017 FM turned off?

AIUI main transmitters will get six multiplexes and relays three.

Are all the radio stations on the three maln multiplexes? If not, we
must be looking at a situation that the number of stations available
to some users will be fewer than the number available on present
Freeview?

(I realise that those using main transmitters will probably continue
to do so and the question is about 'continuation' so no-one should
lose out.)

Correct -- except for "relays" which already carry the six multiplexes.

And some main transmitters may even get a seventh multiplex for local
television or even possibly an eighth. OfCon has already awarded the
licence for the seventh local multiplex to serve parts of Greater Manchester
from Winter Hill to Channel M, and for the seventh local multiplex to
serve Caerdydd to Cube Interactive.

No. To see which radio stations are on which multiplex pre-DSO, have a look
at the web page

http://uk.geocities.com/talk2me2u/mux.html

and for which radio stations on which multiplex post-DSO but pre-PSB-3 clearing
for HD, have a look at the web page

http://uk.geocities.com/talk2me2u/DSO.html


If not, we must be looking at a situation that the number of stations
available to some users will be fewer than the number available on present
Freeview?

Yes, just as Freeview Lite from relay viewers do and will receive fewer
television stations. And they are going to be even more annoyed when
at least two television stations disappear when PSB-3 is cleared for
HD stations and having recently bought a digital converter box within
the last twelve months see no benefit at buying another expensive one
for DVB-t2 MPEG-4 reception.

Woss wrong with the FM version..

It will be interesting to see what happens to it as their licence is up
fro renewal in a couple of years, and it I believe will be auctioned to
the highest bidder;(..
