I think that long term, the writing's on the wall for terrestrial broadcasting in the UK. We are going to end up with satellite as the default platform for FTA TV. Look how keen manufacturers are to develop integrated Freesat TVs - they can see which way things are going. Panasonic and LG are already on the market and Sony is expected to join them in time for Christmas.
I've been thinking that ever since Sky & BSB started broadcasting years ago. Namely broadcasting national channels on terrestial is inefficent compared to satellite. What we need is to reserve 10 or so UHF channels for local TV to set up and sell the rest off. Looks as if radio is going the same way with sub standard DAB replacing good quailty FM.
